This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Having error messages that match the language is actually helpful. A reference and a pointer aren't exactly the same.

Like if Rust output "invalid word size" on a type mismatch.
