I don't think I've seen satire in the form of a programming language before :). Neat. Does anyone else have any other examples? All I can think of are languages like Velado (uses notes) and Piet.

These are the types of projects that are becoming viable with AI. Previously they were too expensive. I love this.
Many types of projects are now vibable.

#26Probably not related but source of page is also funny: ' '
should probably have id="section" too, then you don't need to do all that hard work remembering if you should write section, #section, or .section in your code

(It's not enough to copy Snapchat - probably severely financially hurting them, by stealing their Prior Art - you have to do things like https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2019/09/snapchat-reporte... as well, and just remember: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1692122)

It's written by AI, I strongly believe (ex. the random konami code)

#29Flagged: code and prose written by an LLM, and uncanny-valley as a result - a few examples:
- the programming language part is dropped almost immediately by the LLM.
- The unrelated meat emojis to give it an animated background
- Painfully generic / not attempting to make a joke: "This language finally lets me express my true feelings about variable assignment."
- Every section has exactly the "right" length, ~3-5 items per list, ~2-3 paragraphs per section.
Hate to eat downvotes for saying this, I hate what FB / Zuck too and understand the impulse to treat it as unneeded negativity.
However, I've been on HN for 16 years, and can't remember a time I've seen a human-generated surface-level satire persist in the top posts. Seems to me the length and subject let the slop skate, at least so far.

It isn't a programming language. It is a static site written by AI, with jokes written by AI. Tastes like microwaved steak & it definitely would not have been too expensive to do before AI.
