Dude you're doing it wrong...

OBTW Convert a binary number into a decimal number. The binary number must be provided in the format return by decimal_to_binary. TLDR

...variable numbers and procedure names are too readable.

That should be something like this:

  OBTW

  count ur 1s as human hand
  1s it haz shape like hand before thx

  TLDR

Great work! For those who crave more insanity, see also the HTTP server written in LOLCODE: https://github.com/justinmeza/httpd.lol

It's more readable than most language o_O

Even more so with syntax highlighting: http://i.imgur.com/pDSUIb5.png

What's the font used?

OMG I got to know!!!!

Not with that font. That font looks great on the status bar, but for the code?

Please let me know what is the font. I want it in my Visual Studio now.

Plz me 2

Possibly a TTF enlargement of artwiz "snap"?

It almost looks like COBOL with all the keywords changed: http://lh6.ggpht.com/_sQvdFWqMlMg/S0Q1IKSR7_I/AAAAAAAABv8/Tp...

I didn't find it so. It's probably related to the fact that I'm much more used to the usual imperative syntax.

Maybe some recognizable symbol such as the equal sign, the braces around the body of a loop or an if allow me to grok code more easily? I don't know. Maybe it's different for different people.

Jesus, LOLCODE version 1.3. I'm glad we're still able to have a sense of humour about language development, though.

I love the effort, it is absolutely worth praise. That being said, this is one of the last things I expected to show up on the internet.

Does that mean that the internet is now nearly complete?

I remember a while back a bunch of anti-feminists were building a tongue-in-cheek language called C+= to make fun of your average SJW (and presumably also compile down to regular C). Did that ever get anywhere?

Not really. The problem was that the people behind that particular parody were forging the commit messages as emails from certain feminists (which also pulls in their gravatars on many sites)

This got them booted out of Github, Bitbucket, and Google Code. Last I knew, it was running on some random guy's gitlab server with no activity.

Somebody has too much time on their hands.
