    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?

    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.

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