The Finch Formerly Known As Gold

A higher-level language

It was just a matter of time: programming in LOLcat.

No, I mean really:

HAI
CAN HAS STDIO?
I HAS A VAR
IM IN YR LOOP
      UP VAR!!1
      VISIBLE VAR
      IZ VAR BIGGER THAN 10? KTHXBYE
IM OUTTA YR LOOP
KTHXBYE

There's no reason you couldn't write a compiler for this, either, though mouse drivers might be tricky.

(Suggested by Mark Alger.)

Addendum: Lynn links in, and Fillyjonk comments: "[I]n fifteen years or so, someone will get a Master's Degree with a project entitled I Haz a Thesiz: the Semiotics of LOLCat. Or, perhaps, Oh, Hai, I Made U a Thesiz: The History and Meaning of LOLCat."

HA HA HA, you are, as they say, "full of win."

That did make me laugh. "scamin ur funds," indeed.

What I wonder is what this stuff sounds like, actually spoken. (I'm not even going to TRY to write it. I know my limits.)
