LOLCODE: I Sort of Wish I Wasn’t Serious. Srsly.
If you’re at all familiar with the lolcats phenomenon and you program then this should be of, well, interest (?) to you. It seems someone has created a language based on the textual styling of the comical Internet postings. Here’s the standard “hello world” application, written in LOLCODE:
HAI CAN HAS STDIO? VISIBLE "HAI WORLD!" KTHXBYE |
Sadly my color-coding plugin doesn’t support LOLCODE, so you’ll just have to guess where the keywords are (update: It does now. That’s sad.). If you peruse the site for a while you’ll discover something more surprising that the fact that the language exists at all: There are several compilers and interpreters for it including Python, .NET, and Perl.
There are some days I wish I had the kind of free time that some others do. I can’t even imagine the trouble I’d get in if I did, though.
