LOLCODE – The Language That Wasn’t Really Supposed To Be

The author of LOLCODE didn’t intend for the language to become a real language so fast, but in a matter of weeks it now has over 10 implementations.

But what’s so special about LOLCODE? Here’s a typical code sample, which prints a file to the screen:

HAI
CAN HAS STDIO?
PLZ OPEN FILE "LOLCATS.TXT"?
  AWSUM THX
    VISIBLE FILE
  O NOES
    INVISIBLE "ERROR!"
KTHXBYE

I think it’s hilarious. Check out the contributions to the language for more funny examples.
