BREAKING NEWS … KEEP READING TO DISCOVER
How about CONSIDERED HARMFUL as a postfix negation operator?
BREAKING NEWS! This is the perfect amount of stupid. I'm going to see if I can't convince my team to convert our codebase over ASAP. FOLLOW ME to find out how it goes.
Now we just need the companion turing complete languages:
Thunderfoot - write screenplays for youtube videos debunking articles written in Tabloid
Fisker - Writes troll posts to discord/irc/steam community to highlight how awesome TOPIC in AWESOME ARTICLE written in Tabloid is
Shitlist - Generates awesomelists repos on github for TOPIC
This is refreshingly ridiculous.
The title of the post should have been "SHOCKING DEVELOPMENT".
I'm more of a KTHXBYE kinda guy.
The natural complement to LOLCODE.
Missed opportunity:
The joke should be that regardless of the program you write, nothing happens. No real signal, just like most real clickbait content.
I think it could be improved by ADDING A FEATURE with multiple texts for the same mechanic.
Less repetitive == MORE AWESOME
And of course, harder to learn/understand.
This is the heart and soul of hacker news
So brainrot and brainfuck had a baby?
If you make sure it follows the style of COBOL. we can document it in the history books!
I used this language in a workshop on parser construction at MCH2022. The particepants where asked to construct the grammar for the language, which proved harder than I had expected for most of them.
It’s been too long since something like this has happened. Kudos.
This would benefit from combining the literal rules from TrumpScript [0]:
> All numbers must be strictly greater than 1 million. The small stuff is inconsequential to us.
Love the energy and keyword selections. But also probably a great exercise to have gone through that I've always considered doing
Write amazing programs with this one weird trick
Not written in Rust? Instant pass!
Love `TOTALLY RIGHT` and `COMPLETELY WRONG` as boolean, but `TRUTH` and `FAKE NEWS` sounds better. Too much social media consumption makes me feel that "truth" or "fact" are kinda sarcastic.
It also reminds me TrumpScript: https://github.com/samshadwell/TrumpScript
This gave me a laugh! Some variation of "the Top Five Most Popular Quirks and Features" from the description could be a good way to define arrays on size n (e.g. perhaps numerical instead of Five).
Dereferencing pointers: „click here to find out more“
this is hilarious, thanks for the laughs!
And That's a Good Thing
I love it.
Missed opportunity to title the post/submission “Will this programming language revolutionize software development?” :)
