Okay, since we want this over, here is the answer with my reasoning: We are the constructor and destructor Class was intended to indicate that people (objects) are part of a class "creation to destruction" corresponds to 'constructor' and 'destructor' Also, you can't destruct before you construct Many programming languages (tongues) have constructor and destructors The island was supposed to be a play on Java (which is a language and an island). In Java, there isn't strictly a destructor, but rather a garbage collector. So the destructor ('my counterpart', since I'm the constructor), has to pick up garbage. Since GC is automatic, it rarely needs to be dealt with. Basically, this is in a computer: I construct, my companion destructs (which also frees up memory for new objects) I'm the constructor ('build'). If an object isn't constructed, it is null, and calling a function on a null object/pointer will cause a segfault ('fault' 'segment') which goes up the call stack. Here, God is the user, who fixes the code he wrote wrong that would let this happen. 'Seen Plus... Plus' was an attempted play at C++ to say that the constructor/destructor pair was intended to be partially interpreted as being from that language, as opposed to say Java from earlier. Who has an easier riddle?
