LOLCODE

Programming the LOL way.
All LOLCats, LOL, ALL CAPS.

HAI! This site provides community documentation of the emergent LOLCODE language. It was the creator's original hope that the examples could grow in a way that is both internally consistent and suggest a real, feasible computing language.

HAI WORLD:

HAI
CAN HAS STDIO?
VISIBLE "HAI WORLD!"
KTHXBYE

What actually happened in a matter of days was a vibrant and enthusiastic community appeared, with scores of contributions, over a dozen implementations, and a lively forum for discussion. The language is evolving quickly into something real, supported on multiple platforms. (The previously-announced contest has closed. Stay tuned for resultsâ€¦)

O HAI.

New friend Rob Muller pointed me to a project that he and his friend cooked up about a year ago. Since today is September 19th, Olde Timey Speke seemed relevant enough to today's a Talk Like A Pirate celebration to share:

Ye Olde Sea Pluss Pluss!

It's a preprocessor-driven variant, but it's a bit of fun up on github.

kthxxxxxxbye

Inspired (once again) by the Ruby community (discussion here), closing nested blocks can be accomplished with repeating 'x' for as many â€œkthxâ€s that would be repeated. See the discussion at the above link, and it will be made clear.

The best thing about UDP jokes is that I donâ€™t care if you get them or not.

Hey! Long time no blog!

I don't know if anyone regularly watches LOLCODE news any more, but I will be hanging out at South by Southwest Interactive between now and March 16, 2011. If you've heard of LOLCODE, say hi. If you want to find me (or follow me), then ping me on teh twitterz: @atl.

Following enthusiastic demand for T-shirts, first I followed the path of least resistance and opened a CafePress-powered store. Other possibilities and deals were mooted, but nothing ever materialized. I've finally arrived at Spreadshirt, which allows me to offer shirts at lower prices and with a much wider variety of designs than before. I saw the new shirts set beside the old shirts, and there is no comparison: the new, Spreadshirt-printed shirts are full of WIN.

The Store now features new designs, bolder, brighter printing, lower prices on black shirts, many more women's (and juniors') products, glow-in-the-dark designs, budget t-shirts, and color customization.

Examples

CATURDAY and GIMMEH make small additions to the language. I think we have a resolution to the discussion on IF/THEN/ELSE and CASE constructions. See a new example at LITTLE NUMBER.
