Or maybe you could just be Buffy, he'll see your amazing heart, and he'll fall in love with you.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Like DX said, it doesn't get moved to closed right away - it's in the main thread list.

It really should be named "++ Buffistas Building a Better Board".

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Yeah. But I think fewer people are familiar with that syntax.

Also, I think it's more important to have the basic thread name first than to have it be compilable.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

That logic never worked on any of my CS profs. (Nor any of my compilers, for that matter)

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
It really should be named "++ Buffistas Building a Better Board".
I thought the whole idea was that it was supposed to be a riff off of the name "C++." t knows nothing about C syntax...

Yes. But the name "C++" is a riff off of incrementing variables in C, which can actually be done two ways - eg: x++ or ++x. Putting the '++' after the variable means the variable is "looked at" before it's incremented. So, if Buffistas_Building_a_Better_Board = 1, and you have the expression y = Buffistas_Building_a_Better_Board++, y will = 1, as Buffistas_Building_a_Better_Board is not incremented to 2 until after y is assigned. OTOH, the expression y = ++Buffistas_Building_a_Better_Board will result in y=2 (as well as Buffistas_Building_a_Better_Board=2).
OK, that was way too much explanation, right?

Yep, and it also perfectly matches the explanation I was given of why it really ought to be ++C

There should be more math. This could be mathier.
