    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!"

        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?

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

                          c++ must be the most poignant:

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

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