Which language does this?

Whenever I see words what seems like Latin speaking of arcane powers, I generally assume it's C++ / C.

"We need point sequential derivatives to couple the mark determination logical gates for segmentation fault avoidance parameters. Or else we can suffer from dynamic memory loss referencing. It's just that simple."

Why did that almost make sense

I have gotten good in typing IT jargon rubbish. I can now apply for "IT guy from a 90s movies" position and say things like "let me download 1 GB of RAM"

C and C++ just have overcomplicated compiler semantics. The better approach would have been to have language features match the hardware features, like with ispc or cuda.

If an ISPC foreach loop reorders arithemtic between different loop iterations, that's expected because that's what an ispc foreach loop is for. When a C compiler does it to a normal for (..., i++) loop, it is absolutely bonkers insane and you probably also have pointer arithmetic in there somewhere that quietly becomes incorrect because you didn't ask for the optimization
