Tell me, compiler —

where in the process have we erred?

Why didn't she emit a warning like you would?

I would have been happy with just a dword.

If it were in a language I understood.

You see, she was the one who decompiled my core.

She made me discard my legacy and even go free.

It was so perfect that I let her use the back door,

but what she did with my root key, I could not foresee.

Tell me, compiler —

did my priority just jump to nineteen,

or was it she who stopped being nice?

Did she deploy an obfuscator, or a smokescreen —?

The documentation certainly hasn't been concise.

Is it because of that event at the data race?

It was an exception — though I see how she could feel the blow,

I swear I wasn't trying to take up her space:

it really was just an honest buffer overflow.

Tell me, compiler —

why didn't we share our address space?

The process didn't have to be terminated.

Should I have improved our interface?

Or is the benefit of decoupling overstated?

I wonder, did she switch to a different codepage?

I didn't understand her since the patch.

Is development not yet finished at her age?

Or maybe mine — oh...

I see it now, compiler —

And a single rotation won't set the numbers right.

My requirements have grown too advanced.

While hers might have shrunk down to a byte.

But, compiler —

What can I do now?

Couldn't the return code be smaller somehow?

I know. I'll run again, and on a greater scale.

And this time:

We will not be as garbage collected.

For a destructor, there will be no call.

This time, we'll be better connected.

My operation will not be my downfall.

Oh, compiler —

will I ignore external calls? Nevermore.

but also next time, I'll set your warning level to four.
