    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?

    A nice bit of classics:

      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 :)

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

          cout << 'Goodbye, world!'

            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.

                                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";
                                }

                                      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.[^]

                                      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.
