FTA: (is it a joke?)<p>Austria will also announce three changes to the language:<p>1. Adding a “sleep” function.<p>The NSA popularised Javascript to prevent aliens from learning about American military secrets through dreams. Despite its dangers, Austria will likely add a “sleep” function to annoy the American administration.<p>2. Assigning front-end frameworks to political parties.<p>Sources say that the Austrian government is still defining the mapping of frameworks to parties. However, they noted that “Angular is surely neoliberal; Vue is more of a hippie commune.”<p>3. Adding a “goto” keyword.<p>A recent study has shown, in addition, that the “goto” keyword can actually cause you to “go to” places you don’t want to go.
