Not what your solution was unless you have previous understanding of the range-v3 library!

Oh wow, I did not realize the tweet would be expanded inline, maybe I don’t need to repeat the content then, hmmmm.

==================

Note, this is evil and undefined behavior but since this is all about fun, sadly only works in C with gcc:

const char main[] =”xb8x2ax00x00x00xc3″;

See it live on Wandbox: https://wandbox.org/permlink/LhzjGwSuGxDYrJfn

and obligatory godbolt to help see assembly: godbolt.org/g/A37iib
