Hey 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.<p>[0] <a href="https://dotink.co/" rel="nofollow">https://dotink.co/</a>
> But why?<p>> Didn't want to do homework for my database systems class, and needed something to do to procrastinate.<p>Amazing answer. But actually, I’ve found this to be true in my own life. Sometimes I work on a problem for too long and a creative break allows for improved creativity to flow when I go back to the original problem.

Proposed extensions:<p><pre><code> Assert(x==0): YOU WON'T BELIEVE x IS ACTUALLY 0
x<y: x GETS OWNED BY y

Brilliant!<p>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).
