Would you consider releasing a less powerful version of the language with a smaller binary? Like a baby version? I’d be really curious what it could do do do do do do do.

Most the weight of the binaries is in the GameShark framework. You can get a tiny binary by erasing all files under /bin except shark(.exe) and system.shar

I get not having kids, but 12 billion views, c'mon

12 billions views, and a TV show [0] on nickelodeon. Which also has a couple movies.

And don't forget the short lived line of breakfast cereals!

Wow 12 billion and it was 6 years ago? Where does the time go ... I thought I remembered when one video just reached the 2 billion or 4 billion mark, or 2^31 or 2^32, and it was newsworthy

Now it looks like there are 10+ videos greater than 2^32, and Baby Shark has blown past that

Ouch, I looked at the top 30 list and have only watched one and ever heard of three others.

I feel very out of touch...

I got kids and it took me a minute...

I don't have kids and I got it instantly.

Is the name "GameShark" not going to be a trademark problem? I don't think GameShark is sold any more but I assume somebody owns the trademark to it.

Thats why you should refer to it as GS or GShark XD. I was aware of it so no worries

Thanks! I think this language is a really cool idea :)

There’s potential for a whole family of Shark languages. Put them on product hunt, and it’ll be a run-away success. Hopefully they’ll be memory-safe at last.

This might be irrelevant but it's now nagging at my mind.

Why so many do's?

Baby Shark song

Ha, asked and answered. I have a thing about uncaught references.

I'm guessing a riff on "shark" and the Jaws theme.

Then would be when baby shark jumps the shark!
