Bit offtopic: lolcode

[Layrajha]

While it's somehow chit-chat more than a real authoring discussion, i'm posting this here because it's directed to coders mostly

I was peacefully idling on the Internet while I started reading about stupid languages, leading me first to this wonderful site (list of programs in thousands of languages that just write the lyrics of a stupid song ^^ point being that it has to be the most non proper and surprising way to code it).

And the first result was something like this:

BTW LOLCODE version of 99 Bottles of beer
BTW By Mike Gogulski (http://www.gogulski.com/) 13 July 2007

        KTHX
        VISIBLE " BOTTLZ OF BEER N TEH WALL!"
        IZ VAR LIEK 0?
            GTFO
        KTHX
    KTHX
    VISIBLE "GIEV MOAR PLZ! KTHXBAI!"
KTHXBYE

Surprised, I followed the link and discovered a wonderful language called LOLCODE, which specification kept me rolling on the floor laughing (ok, not, let's say "trying to keep serious cause I wasn't alone in the room and supposed to be working") during maybe half an hour.
Things like "I HAS A ANSWER ITZ 42 BTW NOW ANSWER IS 42" is just awesome. And what can I say about something like

ANIMAL
WTF?
  OMG "CAT"
    VISIBLE "ITZ A CAT!!"
    GTFO
  OMG "DOG"
    VISIBLE "OH NOES!! :'("
    GTFO
  OMGWTF
    VISIBLE "WHAT IS THIS?!"
OIC

And function declarations:

HOW DUZ I SAY YR TEXT AN YR SPEECH
  BOTH SAEM TEXT N NOOB, ORLY?
    YA RLY
      GTFO
  OIC
  BOTH SAEM SPEECH N NOOB, ORLY?
    YA RLY
      GTFO
  OIC
  VISIBLE TEXT N SPEECH
  FOUND YR "YEAH"
IF U SAY SO

Ah... It even made me change my sig. I'm in love.

very funny bookmarked.

LOL! My coding abilities and understanding are pretty sparse... but dang that's funny! I'd guess it would take some practice writing in that language, but amusing for sure. Thanks for the chuckle Layrajha.

Y'know what I love about this? Its a serious joke, like, it's funny, but the community over
there at lolcode.com are actually building this as a real programming language...

I love the internets!

Yep, I loved the discussion about variable's scope inside functions, about how "N" was a sad keyword but on the other hand, usual concatenation operators are either overloads or wasting punctation symbols, about the fact that types will have their efficient tools when user defined types grow stronger but would be a bit useless now, etc

Yeah, I thought so too.

[Layrajha]

Oh noes :'(
But I wasn't active back then, why did you let this topic died, my revelation would have come even earlier!

Edit:
The similarity between our introductions kinda made me laugh anyway

[Cairenn]

That's what I was chuckling at too.
