This is really funny. I quite enjoyed it. I wouldn't take any serious comments here seriously. Unfortunately the distribution of sense-of-humour in the world is not even. Some get a bigger chunk of it than others. The next time anyone mentions CoffeeScript to me, I'll send them here. Much better.
"At least Dogescript has reasonable scoping!"
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Front page of HN is exactly where this should be.
Yes. Absolutely! I'm getting so sick of "sprints" and Trello cards and test-driven-hubris... The Internet is falling apart; economies are going ape-shit everywhere... The least we can do is preserve this beautiful craft of programming, and have fun with it. Rather that deluding ourselves into believing that we need yet another Search-for-the-Thing-in-our-Company's-Metadata app.
I particularly enjoy the ingenuity of some constructions in there :
such nested
plz console.loge with ['so', 'wow']
BUT DOES THIS WORK WITH NODE.JS?!1
Many of these internet memes are genius hilarious. People know the good Monty Python bits 40 years on. The good doge pics bust my guts just like that stuff. Will anyone get or remember this in 20 years? Interesting times.
What's funny about this is that every comment here is calling this useless, yet it's something that's very much in the hacker spirit. Utility is not the end goal of everything.
The only thing that bothers me about Dogescript is that the joke is too forced. The typical Shibe pictures are just "wow", "such X", "very Y", "wow"; when one adds in the "shh", "plz", and "rly", and (even worse) starts crafting a coherent sequential story, it removes the humor from the doge meme.
