I was also dismayed to find out that rather than being a mainstream post about my favorite little scheme... I'm greeted by an esoteric language of the same name.
Why would you call it "esoteric"? Eh, programmers these days.

I have more nightmares about what will pass as valid JavaScript.
About being vegetarian: see the BBQ instruction. :-)

#60I love how even the JS implementation contains almost only the word chicken repeatedly.
I've never been so amused by source code as I was reading that. I particularly enjoyed how he used spaces after dots and question marks, making it read like punctuation.
