#92What'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.
I recall when LOL Cats were actually pretty funny, way back around "I has a flavor". Then people who didn't understand the language [1] overran the Internet with cats that had incredible vocabularies and immaculate grammar (they just didn't know how to spell and were evil). 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", "w…
Things stop being funny over time. There's no reason to be concerned. There will always be a next funny thing, and there's really very little you can do about it.

#93Hiya! I'm the creator of this. I did not expect this to be here (nor did I especially want it to...). If it isn't painfully obvious, this is a joke, so please don't take it too seriously. Thanks!
Thanks remixz.

Thank you, Poe's Law.
I would like to make an addendum to Poe's Law - a formal accepted response / solution to the dilemma. An extremist point of view should always be taken as sarcasm (or more accurately, as pisstake). Extremism should be derided as facile and ridiculous, but kind of funny - just like sarcasm. It is absurd whether the proponent regards it as such or not and as such should be treated with the sense of humour it deserves.
"Extremist" points of view are relative to the audience.
At one point, scientists were 'extremists.'

Hey again! Thanks for the support everyone. Definitely cool when this is about a meme. With everyone's suggestions and contributions, dogescript has improved greatly. I've added documentation to the page. Cheers!

At first I got "dodgescript", but yeah, then I was thinking, "what the heck does this have to do with doges?"
Re: Dogescript
#97This is totally awesome. I was already excited about Zach's upcoming talk at CascadiaJS [1] but now I can't wait to see what he's got up his sleeve.
Re: Dogescript
#98I like it. And I always wondered why a programming language couldn't exist to work as follows: Start Run at 60 frames per second and do Clear the screen Draw a rectangle at (10,10) with size (100,50) and rotate it 20 degrees Repeat End Or something along those lines - hopefully you get my point. This would be fun for prototyping. I could just speak to my computer and have it translate my plain english into a working…
Many, many programming languages have been designed to be English-like.
Unless they are specific to a very narrow domain, they generally don't end up doing that very well, and even the best don't help very much, because you still need to use them more precisely than you'd use a natural language.
The closest thing to an english-like language that is successful is probably SQL.
Re: Dogescript
#99It seems to me that a lot of these toy/joke languages are just thin wrappers around existing languages. Something that can be accomplished by a few #defines or regexes to transform it into a runnable language.

#100Are there any tutorial that go about implementing your own compile-to-js language?
