Writing » Poems » Streams

Characters,
Flowing down streams
And put in containers
Or on displays.

Some streams go in,
Some go out,
Some go both in and out.
Some can be redirected.

Some allow extraction,
Some allow insertion,
Some allow both,
Some are standard.

And if you're wondering what I'm talking about,
I'm talking about something nice:
C++ streams.

Notes/trivia

• Yep, another C++-themed poem. Unlike "Program", though, I didn't write it using C++ code.
• I once wanted to write a "stream of consciousness" poem called "Streams", but in the end, I scrapped the idea and kept the title. The end result is what you can see on this page.
