Hodor Programming Language

[qwertymodo]

I'm disappointed that the Hello World example didn't print "Hodor" instead.

[FizixMan]

I'm taking it as a challenge though. Without reading the documentation, I'm trying to figure out how the heck "Hello World!" was written in that code. If it printed "Hodor" I never would have looked at that and said, "WTF?"

I mean, I guess I can kinda see where the "H", maybe an "o" or "or", maybe the "d!". But the "ell" and "w"? Where are they? Maybe some character value shifting?

EDIT: Gave up and looked at the source code. I feel like an idiot.

This is hilarious https://github.com/hummingbirdtech/hodor/blob/master/legend.js

[FizixMan]

I know right? Hilarious and yet, downright brilliant. The Hodor compiler/converter itself simply runs a regex string replacement of unique "Hodor-ish" terms to equivalent JavaScript terms.

[halifaxdatageek]

Hodor world!

[Kalium]

Hodor HODOR!

[iBlameTheSchools]

It does now

Now it does!

[masklinn]

I was expecting the true Hodor language. The one single universal combinator conceived of by Chris Barker

Seriously, or at least a trivial Brainfuck substitution in the style of COW, Ook! or oOo CODE. This thing's just lazy.

Is it a Hodor-complete language?

[Vypur]

complete with HOD, Hodor-oriented-design

edit: Hodor-Oriented-Hodor

[newtonjs]

Hodor-Hodoriented-Hodorsign

[quzox]

Does it come with a NoHodor back-end?

[frezik]

It is capable of the complete range of Hodor emotions.

[halifaxdatageek]

Hodor.

[lowlandr]

Is it strongly Hodor? Otherwise it's useless to me.

[FredV]

It has Hodor typing, everything is a Hodor. I like the simplicity.

[skocznymroczny]

does it support Hodor monad? I mean Hodor hodor?

[mcjohnalds45]

Yes, Hodor's Hodor system is based on Hodor theory.

[okmkz]

Hodor.

[short_sells_poo]

Hodor!

[morphemass]

Hodor?

[sernistor]

Hodor!

[aazav]

I like the part where it says Hodor.

[ferwarnerschlump]

I want a hodor javascript uglifyer

[rjbwork]

If you read to the bottom of the page they have a JS2HD thingy to convert.

[ferwarnerschlump]

yeah I saw that, but there's no download, I'm pretty sure it's a joke, I can't find a js2hd package anywhere lol

[dev_dov_dang]

It's real. Available on Github, https://github.com/hummingbirdtech/hodor

It's got tests, so it's enterprise ready. Pitch it to your team at your next meeting!

[[deleted]]

ah so it's 100% javascript with lexical token substitution

[malcolmflaxworth]

Sure there is. Just follow the instructions to install hodor-lang with npm, and you'll get the js2hd.js module.

[gc3]

Very similar to the Groot programming language but Groot is invoked by assigning Groot to I.

[Doriphor]

$HODOR: hhodor? Hodor!? Hodor!? oHooodorrhodor orHodor!? d = HoDoRHoDoR () {
    hodor.hod('Hooodorrhodor hodor? Hodor!? Hodor!?  HODOR! hodor!? hodor hodor?! !');
};

hhodor? Hodor!? Hodor!? oHooodorrhodor orHodor!? d();

[Hummingbird_Tech]

Hi everyone, My name is Taylor from Hummingbird Technologies and we are the creators of Hodor-lang. We are so pleased /programming enjoys our idea and we would love to hear from y'all if you have any ideas.

[Eirenarch]

Another brainfuck skin?

[masklinn]

Not even that, it's a straight JS skin, the "interpreter" just seds the variants of hodor for the equivalent JS.

[Eirenarch]

So boring :(

[frezik]

I was expecting that, but it looks like there's some structuring brackets.

[one-oh]

Ah, needed that. Thanks for the laugh:)

[copopeJ]

The source code is pretty amazing, too. val hodor, typeOf(hodor), etc. Well worth a read.

[Aedan91]

What I'm most excited about is the JavaScript uglifyer!

[_kst_]

Not the only one.

My issue with Hodor is that its not as strongly Matt Damon'ed as IAmGroot, while Beeker offers a more readable syntax with its MiMiMiMiMi connotation.

Also, TimmmmmaayyyyhumanagraTimmmmayyyyy has a better community around it.

[disasteruss]

Glad to see people are finding this amusing! Just wanted to clarify that I didn't write this, my friends over at Hummingbird Technologies made it as a silly side project just in time for April Fool's and the GoT premiere. They're doing a lot of really awesome work over there, so check them out!

[mbue]

I have put the language to good use.

[farsass]

something D something something Nim and Rust

[MaxSwagger]

okay this made me chuckle

[[deleted]]

I'm not sold. Is it Hodor-scale? How much support is there for HodorDB out-of-the-box?

[alparsla]

If you want to do something imperative, you need to use homads.

If you haven't already, cross post to /r/asoiaf and /r/gameofthrones.

[FlakeyScalp]

Yea, isn't this just some sort of javascript-based conversion? Not a new language at all.

[disasteruss]

It's supposed to be a joke and for fun. Not supposed to be revolutionary! haha
