Metacircular Evaluatr

First the Internets gave us LOLcats. Then LOLgays. And LOLprez. Even Startrek got the LOL treatment. And there’s more, google for them or roll your own.

Now we have LOLcode. Yes, somebody actually went and turned the LOLcat language into a programming language!

HAI! This site provides community documentation of the emergent LOLCODE language. It is our hope that the examples can grow in a way that is both internally consistent and suggest a real, feasible computing language.

Here’s the obligatory ‘Hello Hai World’ example:

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

When I first came across the site yesterday afternoon there wasn’t too much content. Now there are already quite a lot of user contributions to develop the code. There’s even a first compiler.

Don’t you just love the Internet? ;)
