I don't think I've seen satire in the form of a programming language before :). Neat. Does anyone else have any other examples? All I can think of are languages like Velado (uses notes) and Piet.

These are the types of projects that are becoming viable with AI. Previously they were too expensive.

I love this.

There's TrumpScript. https://github.com/samshadwell/TrumpScript

It's designed completely wrong.

Trump programs would end with "Thank you for your attention to this matter."

Some well-known satire/parody languages are Omgrofl, Shakespeare, ArnoldC, but there're many more. Can check https://esolangs.org/wiki/Category:Thematic & https://esolangs.org/wiki/Category:Joke_languages. But although weird esolangs, don't see how Velda and Piet be considered satire.

I would say these are just joke languages that aren't trying to parody anything or use satire.

When I think of parody or satire in programming languages, the example that comes to mind is the "C plus equality" project used for rather trolling critique of contemporary "social justice" ideology.

The project dates to the 2016 election campaign and was archived in 2020. I don't think Trump had that particular speech affect that time around, or at least I can't recall it being memed upon the way it is now.
