At least you can read it.

I'm surprised the type and variable name in the parameter list ((ref @readonly @readonly)) can be the same.

@topspin Then you'll be delighted to find this is perfectly valid:

namespace @ref
{
    public struct @ref { };
}

class Foo
{
    ref @ref.@ref @ref(ref @ref.@ref @ref) => ref @ref;
}

@Applied-Mediocrity I don't know C# but I think I can read that. That's not a good sign for my sanity.

That's right up there with this piece of legal (but very dumb) Tcl code:

set set set

(It sets the variable set to be the string set.)

@Applied-Mediocrity said in Buffalo buffalo ref buffalo:

ref @ref.@ref @ref(ref @ref.@ref @ref) => ref @ref;

The reason that's extra funny for me as a Hungarian, is that "röf" is the common onomatopoeia for what a pig says
