With a bit of fiddeling you can use every kind of bracket to basically make function calls in c++

Here are the links to the snippets, all compile and run

That's funny because I'm the opposite. I always enjoy the assert statements in example code.

In example code, yes, but in this meme specifically which is all about function call syntax, it ruins the point. E.g. every line in the C++ snippet includes parentheses.
