This is way funnier name, to be honest.

The bit about four equal signs reminds me of the famous article from The Onion “Fuck Everything, We’re Doing Five Blades” [0]

“… I don’t care if they have to cram the fifth equal sign in perpendicular to the other four, just do it!“

I very much enjoyed reading this! This is built on revolutionary changes in how CPUs, operating systems, compilers, languages and programmers work.

> You can now use floats for indexes too!

> By default, a variable will last until the end of the program. But you can make it last in between program-runs by specifying a longer lifetime.

    const const name<Infinity> = "Luke"! //lasts forever

> You can make classes, but you can only ever make one instance of them. This shouldn't affect how most object-oriented programmers work.

> Similarly..... Gulf of Mexico also features AI, which stands for Automatic-Insertion. If you forget to finish your code, Gulf of Mexico will auto-complete the whole thing!

> It's worth noting that GitHub CoPilot doesn't understand GulfOfMexico, which means that MicroSoft won't be able to steal your code.

> This is great for when you want to keep your open-sourced project closed-source.

We need to add this new language to Linux kernel.

We could also add Kʼiche, Mayama, and their icons of kings getting their heads removed. every kernel needs an icon of a king getting their head cut off. " In AD 738, the vassal king Kʼakʼ Tiliw Chan Yopaat of Quiriguá captured his overlord, Uaxaclajuun Ubʼaah Kʼawiil of Copán and a few days later he ritually decapitated him;"

Oh... Computer language. No skin in this game, no horse in this race, and no cheese down this tunnel.

But it's not perfect. GulfOfAmerica would have been perfect!

In no time it will be forked with the new name to make it even greater

I think the language should also use the following keywords instead of print.

- boast

- project

- lunacy

This reads really nice. I felt like it was a satirical novel for my kind of nerd. Love this
