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.
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.
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).
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.
Missed opportunity to title the post/submission “Will this programming language revolutionize software development?” :)
I hope error messages say
Errors should be thrown as TRULY EXCEPTIONAL

How about CONSIDERED HARMFUL as a postfix negation operator?

Not written in Rust? Instant pass!
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
.BOT - Controls botfarms with built-in shill primitives on the X virtual machine, successor to BitMusk
Missed opportunity for loops to be
BREAKING NEWS … KEEP READING TO DISCOVER
If you make sure it follows the style of COBOL. we can document it in the history books!
I look forward to the implementation of the TACO instruction.
So brainrot and brainfuck had a baby?

The joke should be that regardless of the program you write, nothing happens. No real signal, just like most real clickbait content.

now the program doesnt terminate
I'm more of a KTHXBYE kinda guy.
This is refreshingly ridiculous.
Write amazing programs with this one weird trick
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.

Love the energy and keyword selections. But also probably a great exercise to have gone through that I've always considered doing
This is the heart and soul of hacker news
I thought that was maison d'errorier
The title of the post should have been "SHOCKING DEVELOPMENT".
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
But... Which one of TRUTH and FAKE NEWS is the equivalent of boolean TRUE and FALSE respectively????
The original options are more clear imo, even though they show their age.
You're right, I'm not sure neither... Probably it should be FACT and ALTERNATIVE FACT and no one knows what means what.
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.

this is hilarious, thanks for the laughs!
I love it.
