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.

great if it helps you learn something. shouldn't be on hn front page.

Well, no... I disagree that this is any viable dialect of canines.

Moreover, no cognitive system of canine can corroborate this as a valid dialect of canines. It's English-projection. At best it's mockery of canine dialects.

And I didn't say anything in the order of "it's useless". I said "I don't even", which is the openest of things to say.

I think it's pretty funny. This is firsthand codecomedy.

Hiya! 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!

It's really cute and clever. I sort of wish I thought of it, because I really do enjoy getting little morsels of hacker fame (or infamy) for stuff like this.

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.
