Verity asks an interesting question. [modified]

[Henry Minute]

Which programming language to use on your tombstone?[^]. At the moment I am thinking Forth but am still trying to work out some suitable code. [Edit] I think :Goodbye 42 Emit 8 Emit CR ; .Goodbye [/Edit] What would be your choice?

C would make a nice epitaph, and a bit of humor as well:

cout << 'Goodbye, world!'

[David1987]

That isn't C ;P

Brainf*ck. That should really screw with people's heads. Interesting that fuck does not get *-ed when used as part of a word.

I guess I will take a suitable ordinary text and convert it to a hex dump. Then, after I'm dead, my heirs must go to a certain website on the day I died and use its entire content as a key to encode my text (simple XOR). And the resulting encoded hex dump has to be put on the stone. Too bad I will never see how future archeologists try to make any sense of the inscription :)

Three things wrong with that statement. 0. Its not C (as has been pointed out) 1. Its not terminated properly which is ironic on a tombstone 2. Its ought to be "Goodbye, cruel world!"

Ah, but in which language? I mean, that looks very much like a C++ ; to me.

Sub Life()
Dim Breaths = 100,000,000
Dim Live As Bool.True
Do Until Live = False
Breaths = Breaths - 1
If Breaths <1 then Live = False
Loop
End Sub

Wow! Short life. Using 15 bpm, that is.

You should add try and catch to handle a LifeThreadAbort exception, just in case you do not quite make it to 100000000 breaths.

Yeah, go on without any exception handling and look how far you get.

c++ must be the most poignant:

~Keith();

It even looks bleak somehow. Though this might be good (c#):

for (var what in death.sleep)
{
what = "dreams";
}
