Not with that font. That font looks great on the status bar, but for the code?

Dude you're doing it wrong...

OBTW Convert a binary number into a decimal number. The binary number must be provided in the format return by decimal_to_binary. TLDR

...variable numbers and procedure names are too readable.

That should be something like this:

  OBTW

  count ur 1s as human hand
  1s it haz shape like hand before thx

  TLDR

I didn't find it so. It's probably related to the fact that I'm much more used to the usual imperative syntax.

Maybe some recognizable symbol such as the equal sign, the braces around the body of a loop or an if allow me to grok code more easily? I don't know. Maybe it's different for different people.

Possibly a TTF enlargement of artwiz "snap"?

I remember a while back a bunch of anti-feminists were building a tongue-in-cheek language called C+= to make fun of your average SJW (and presumably also compile down to regular C). Did that ever get anywhere?

Not really. The problem was that the people behind that particular parody were forging the commit messages as emails from certain feminists (which also pulls in their gravatars on many sites)

This got them booted out of Github, Bitbucket, and Google Code. Last I knew, it was running on some random guy's gitlab server with no activity.
