//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. 

[[examples:HAI WORLD]]:
<code>HAI
CAN HAS STDIO?
VISIBLE "HAI WORLD!"
KTHXBYE</code>

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 [[http://forum.lolcode.com/|forum]] for discussion. The language is evolving quickly into something real, supported on multiple platforms.

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 [[http://store.lolcode.com/|Store]] now features new designs, bolder, brighter printing, lower prices on [[http://lolcode.spreadshirt.com/us/US/Shop/Index/index/category/17825|black shirts]], many more [[http://lolcode.spreadshirt.com/us/US/Shop/Index/Index/productTypeCategory/2|women's]] (and [[http://lolcode.spreadshirt.com/us/US/Shop/Index/Index/productTypeCategory/16|juniors']]) products, [[http://lolcode.spreadshirt.com/us/US/Shop/Index/index/category/17803|writeable]] shirts, [[http://lolcode.spreadshirt.com/us/US/Shop/Index/index/category/17795|glow-in-the-dark]] designs, [[http://lolcode.spreadshirt.com/us/US/Shop/Index/index/category/17804|budget t-shirts]], and [[http://lolcode.spreadshirt.com/us/US/Shop/Index/index/category/17826|color customization]].

[[examples:CATURDAY]] and [[examples: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 [[examples:LITTLE NUMBER]].
