Thank you @SirWumpus for your bug report. We appreciate your time and attention to the guidelines.
Continue to look at the next/rules.html
and next/guidelines.html
. Your remarks in the past have been very much appreciated and will contribute to a better IOCCC28.
Have I mentioned how I hate templates, preferring a more open free form report. (Good) developers know what back ground (front not with standing) is needed for a suitable report.
We offer two++ suggestions in your case:
0) edit the resulting template as needed b) continue to have fun with the "Anything else?" section .. we don't mind II) just open a pull request and put your good development experience into the pull request remarks
Not to worry. I continue picking things apart.
I pulled this change on the server a bit ago and will start doing a technical review as you asked me to do, soon, btw.
Rules corrected in many ways, mostly technical.
Guidelines next .. but not until later today - or tomorrow.
p.s.

Make a third suggestion:
BTW: did you ever think about how they say that C++'s name is that it's better than C but how it's hardly true? I am sure you have but here's something they did not think of: the value of C++
is actually C but as a side effect C
is increased by 1: thus it's definitely not better! Actually a better name would have been --C
but I won't get into that :-)
.. obviously the reason I bring that up is the ++
above.
Is there an existing issue for this?

What you expect
I think you meant:
* that mandate the exclusive the use of an specific Integrated Development Environment (IDE)
I think what is REALLY meant is:
(.. or depending on what comes before it that MANDATES
)
:-)
... which I will fix it when I work on it next.

Okay fixed .. now back later today .. or tomorrow.
Actually I see a slight improvement is in order in the template too, grammar wise. Well I can worry about that later.
Okay I fixed the templates too. As commit https://github.com/ioccc-src/temp-test-ioccc/pull/2516/commits/6c92038be01146a38d69db1bff0e3612402aefde says, quite ironically:
Minor grammar improvement in issue templates
.. though this certainly can be improved some still, the entire wording
of the sentence. That will be considered later.
Thank you to @SirWumpus for indirectly making me aware of this: I know
he hates templates so I feel like I should thank him specially :-)
I hope you appreciate that .. it's all in good fun of course! Now I really am going afk! I have to make this change in the other repo though ... will do that when back.
.. or now.
... they say that C++'s name is that it's better than C ...
At my first place of work (after UNI) with MKS, some of the developers would say C++ is the Cobol of the 1990's
.

I'm sure there are a lot of jokes about C++. That one I thought of years ago but the one you share is a good one too.
In the man pages of the mkiocccentry repo we have in comments:
.\" Humour impairment is not virtue nor is it a vice, it's just plain
.\" wrong: almost as wrong as JSON spec mis-features and C++ obfuscation! :-)
.\"
There's another fun thing to discover in them and at least one has something else fun, all in comments.
Also there's a funny poem/verse about another programming language of old. I can't remember which one. I think it's in flex and bison 2nd edition but I might be wrong. It's been a while since I've read it.
I think also someone said something like: In many ways, Java is C--
. I would disagree with that. It's certainly far from my favourite language but one thing is nice - it's graphics API. There are plenty of things I don't like about it but I'm not an expert it in it either. I much prefer it to C++ though (although I've written entire applications in C++ .. I just found that I started to do what I call C-ify it - make things more like C).
