I just stumbled upon the Shakespeare Programming Language. Now what is stranger about this: that someone had the idea, or that there are programmers really writing implementations?

Quote:

Scene I: At the last hour before dawn.

[Enter the Ghost and Juliet]

The Ghost:
 You pretty little warm thing! Thou art as prompt as the difference
 between the square of thyself and your golden hair. Speak your mind.

Juliet:
 Listen to your heart!

[Exit the Ghost]

[Enter Romeo]

Juliet:
 Thou art as sweet as a sunny summer's day!

Wow, that's WAY better than LOLCode!

I can't speak for programmers, but I like it.

What about Whitespace?

Brilliant!

I like the idea of your code being well-hidden when printed out especially....

Although, you could hide code quite well....

Next we will have secret codes in old Edgar Allen's work, especially 'The Purloined Letter'.


I thought you would have been discussing the effects of toasted blue vein cheese sandwiches eaten with dodgy mushrooms and washed down with rough red. That really brings out the strange concepts for a while until a very familiar activity supervenes.

Reminds me of the ObfuscatedC Code contest.

They do that for Perl too.

And then there is an unobfuscated Perl contest too I think.
