    There's a lot of logos with hidden stuff like that.

    Amazon's logo has an arrow going from A to Z, implying they sell everything "from A to Z"

    The Tostitos logo has two people holding chips (the Ts) and a bowl of salsa (the dot on the I):

    Toyota's logo has every letter of the company name in it:

    The LG logo has the letters L and G in it:

    It always pissed me off that they use this as an example of white space use. No one sees it.

    Issue is, Rust is not a drop-in replacement for C. The memory safety features are just one part, and since Rust is also a "weakly" functional language, thus its prefered to write such code with it.

    C Tesseract has this interstellar vibe and brings quotes like the following, but with a totally different meaning:

    • "Years of [compilation error] messages"
    • "People disn't build this Tesseract"; "Not yet... But one day. Not you and me but people, people who've evolved beyond the four dimensions we know"
    • "You've got to leave something behind"

    This isn't the evolution of C at all. It's all just one language and you're simply stuck in a lower dimension with a dimensionally compatible cross-section.

    I'm not ready for 4D, just let me try out C Lattice on a few smaller projects first.

    "Just a heads up that we'll be shipping your machine to the client, since it's the only machine on Earth known to support the software. You're getting the spare machine out of the basement. Super fast Cyrix processor. Looks like it boots to Windows 11 release 3, but they've written it 3.11 for some reason."

    I really like the theory that the Carbon language is that 3-dimension one—a carbon lattice
