I was going to say the same. Looks like a projected 5-cube.
For those curious, a 4-cube is a hypercube of n=4, which is a tesseract (2nd from last). When a hypercube is defined as n=5 it's a penteract/5-cube. This goes on for hexeracts, hepteracts, etc.
EDIT: Here's a 4d projection of a 5-cube rotating in 5th-dimensional space. Obviously then projected to 2d, as it's a video. The visual is so satisfying, but I can't say the same about the music.
So, it is supposed to be (C++)++, i.e. an increment on top of C++ (even though the core of the language is virtually identical to Java).
But it's also supposed to be C♯ which indicates in musical notation that a note should be incremented in pitch by a half-step. That's where the "C sharp" comes from.
Positive numbers need not be indicated by a plus sign, as any number without a negative sign is assumed to be positive (except 0). Therefore, the plus is assumed with C.
As for the latter half, there exists a C--, but not a C-. Which, in actuality, implies the existence of the aforementioned C+ (as was assumed), as 2 negatives makes a positive (despite the fact that C-- is a discrete language separate from C).
It's also of note that a separate interpretation may be implied. ++ and -- are increment and decrement instructions within the C programming language, suggesting that C++ is an increment of C, whereas C-- is a decrement of it.

I prefer C♭
Ah yes, C hypersharp, my favorite language
I know C hypersharp but you wouldn't have heard of it. It goes to another dimension.
What is that last shape called?
Kinda looks like a wireframe projection of a 5-cube or "penteract" into the plane.

That was... Not the music I expected it to be
Me neither lol. I suppose it fits the nature of the video.

Ohhhh is that where the C# name comes from
It's kind of a double pun.

If it's doubling each time wouldn't this imply a forbidden C+? Maybe even a C- before that?

++and--are increment and decrement instructions within the C programming language, suggesting that C++ is an increment of C, whereas C-- is a decrement of it.Why are we limited to straight lines? What about C parabolic? Or log(c base 3)?
Yeah, and why are we also being limited to Euclidian space. I for one, would like to see a hyperbolic space programming language.
I love the idea but the thought of debugging such a thing is making me search for a large cliff near me

From now on instead of C#, I'll eternally refer to it as C++++
