Much nicer than C, much simpler than C++, much less cruft than both.

This one has always bothered me a bit because ....999999 is the same as infinity, so when you're "proving" this, you're doing math using infinity as a real number which we all know it's not.

To be fair, the Fahrenheit measurement should be pretty intuitive here. Fahrenheit is easy because 0 degrees is "really fucking cold" and 100 degrees is "really fucking hot." So anything triple-digits should be easily recognizable as "yeah that's way too fucking hot for a phone."

This is also why I prefer Fahrenheit to Celsius in general (even though I am an engineer and am not a die-hard patriot or anything like that). It is a more practical scale for everyday usage.

Hate to break it to you (and your superiority complex) but Fahrenheit is also a standard.

Hot take (maybe?) C# looks like a great language, better than Java. I wish I had an excuse to use it.
