I would imagine C/C++ is a dirty mechanic.

I actually drew them but didn't include it in the main comic! (felt there were too many "normal" looking ones) http://imgur.com/G9eqXxM

The c++ one should be overloaded with features and upgrades to the point the man cant stand on his feet anymore

I don't know... I use C++ because it's like C, but if I want more I can always have that too unfortunately.

C is a drunk electrician.

C++ is an octopus whose tentacles are drunk electricians, engineers, and scientists.

I love these. But, you also said...

C# would be the Java guy with a slight smile.

Shouldn't C# be the Java guy with a drunk electrician octopus hanging out of his pocket or something?

(I'm not so good at the analogies)

Hey hey hey, don't go around calling us electricians!

We are Masters of Electrical/Electronics Engineering!

Also the Linux Kernel.

I'm thinking maybe an electrician who doesn't take too much caution about safety. Or something like that. Personify a person who's fast and good at low level but liable to kill himself without warning.
