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

    cout << 'Goodbye, world!'

      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?

        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!"

                                  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";
                                  }

                                  Sort of a cross between Lawrence of Arabia and Dilbert.[^]

                                        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";
                                        }

                                        On a gravestone they usually have the birthdate and the date of death, so you should have a constructor as well.

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