#35Hey HN! Author here, feel free to AMA. I've made less joke-y languages too before, most prominently Ink [0] which I use to write some of my own apps for personal notes/contacts/etc. [0] https://dotink.co/

Re: Tabloid: The Clickbait Headline Programming Language
#36I think "TOTALLY RIGHT" and "COMPLETELY WRONG" should be changed to "CONFIRMED" and "BUSTED".
Re: Tabloid: The Clickbait Headline Programming Language
#37Brilliant! However: Ideally, someone would create a meta-language for defining the next ArnoldC/LolCat/Intercal/...Tabloid, assuming there will be a next, which I'm sure there is (nobody made a porn-based language yet, rule 33 or whatever number it was).
Compiler-compilers (not just parsing) do exist although they seem to have practically died out a long time ago (much easier to do when all language worth spending money on were procedural and structural if you were lucky)

I used to have a program that'd take eight arbitrary tokens and output a programming language using those as its commands, just as a reskin of Brainfuck (such as Ook).
My copy is long gone, but it's an easy project if you want to make one for yourself.

#39WHY I LOVE THIS--I've never laughed so hard while reading an HN post.
Great job!

#40Apart from anything else, the website itself is a great intro to the language, terrific UX; fun, witty and focused.
Great job!
