The original tweet in the chain linked to, and thus the through line of links back to Anna's tweet where she named the turbofish (https://web.archive.org/web/20210911061514/https://twitter.com/whoisaldeka/status/914914008225816576) are lost as the user whoisaldeka has deleted their twitter account. Switching to an archive link preserves this through line, allowing someone to browse back to see the point at which Anna created the turbofish, as was the original intent of including this context.

// Bastion of the Turbofish
|
|
// ------------------------
|
|
// Beware travellers, lest you venture into waters callous and unforgiving,
|
|
// where hope must be abandoned, ere it is cruelly torn from you. For here
|
|
// stands the bastion of the Turbofish: an impenetrable fortress holding
|
|
// unshaking against those who would dare suggest the supererogation of the
|
|
// Turbofish.
|
|
//
|
|
// Once I was young and foolish and had the impudence to imagine that I could
|
|
// shake free from the coils by which that creature had us tightly bound. I
|
|
// dared to suggest that there was a better way: a brighter future, in which
|
|
// Rustaceans both new and old could be rid of that vile beast. But alas! In
|
|
// my foolhardiness my ignorance was unveiled and my dreams were dashed
|
|
// unforgivingly against the rock of syntactic ambiguity.
|
|
//
|
|
// This humble program, small and insignificant though it might seem,
|
|
// demonstrates that to which we had previously cast a blind eye: an ambiguity
|
|
// in permitting generic arguments to be provided without the consent of the
|
|
// Great Turbofish. Should you be so naïve as to try to revolt against its
|
|
// mighty clutches, here shall its wrath be indomitably displayed. This
|
|
// program must pass for all eternity: forever watched by the guardian angel
|
|
// which gave this beast its name, and stands fundamentally at odds with the
|
|
// impetuous rebellion against the Turbofish.
|
|
//
|
|
// My heart aches in sorrow, for I know I am defeated. Let this be a warning
|
|
// to all those who come after: for they too must overcome the impassible
|
|
// hurdle of defeating the great beast, championed by a resolute winged
|
|
// guardian.
|
|
//
|
|
// Here stands the Bastion of the Turbofish, a memorial to Anna Harren,
|
|
// Guardian Angel of these Hallowed Grounds. <3
