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 results…)

A new HAI WORLD of sorts

Reddit has been infected by this meme of “A Reddit clone in X lines of Y programming language.” I suppose, then, that it was inevitable that someone would pull it off with LOLCODE. Naturally, as with any high performance web programming needs, they turned to PHP, and Tetraboy's LOLCODE implementation, which was one of the very first out there (and why it might not look like other dialects of LOLCODE found elsewhere).

CAN HAS SQL?

Well played, keyz182, well played.

PragPub

Well played, Pragmatic Programmers, well played.

The inaugural issue of PragPub, an electronic magazine for programmers edited by Michael Swaine, former editor of Dr. Dobb’s Journal, has a cameo appearance for LOLCODE.

For the lulz. Also, marblecake.

Paul Lamere, a blogger for whom I have long had much respect, has outdone himself with a long look at the recent 4chan hack of a time.com poll.

At the core of the hack is the work of a dozen or so, backed by an army of a thousand who downloaded and ran the autovoters and also backed by an untold number of others that unwittingly fell prey to the spam url autovoters. So why do they do it? Why do they write code, build complex applications, publish graphs - why do they organize a team that is more effective than most startup companies? Says Zombocom: “For the lulz”.

Amen, brother.

Google code search

Just minutes into April 2nd, I discover that Google has introduced LOLCODE language search. Nice.

Spreadshirt-powered lolcode.com shop

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

FILEZORZ:

		INVISIBLE "ERROR!"
KTHXBYE

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.
