A
NewSpeak term from
GeorgeOrwell's
NineteenEightyFour. In
NewSpeak, there is no word for
bad or
evil, there is only
ungood. Modifiers are also ambiguous. One uses the modifier
plus for emphasis, so
plus ungood means
especially ungood. The most emphatic modifier is
double-plus, so
double-plus ungood is the worst thing you can say about something.
I thought this page was a negative commentary on CeePlusPlus and other similarly-named languages.
See? It works!
And I thought it was going to discuss the downside of the CeeLanguage's increment operator (++)
It really works.
Obviously
BigBrother likes to use prefix operators. I prefer
UnGoodDoublePlus, or just
UnGoodPlusPlus. . .
Yes, but BigBrother is right so you had better use prefix operators if you know what's good for you.
The extra
CopyConstructor of postfix++ is ungood. --

I vote that this page be repurposed into a commentary on overuse of modifiers.
