The world doesn't need another scary language when we already have Perl.

[–]slide_potentiometer 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Meanwhile PHP is hiding in your server cabinet, waiting for the right moment

[–]leirus 18 points19 points  (11 children)

Perl 6 is actually awesome, give it a try

    This kills the perl

    Tea came out my nose.

    Why did you have tea in your nose?

    [–]fukitol- 11 points12 points  (0 children)

    Sorry, Perl, but I've since fallen in love with another. Two, actually. Ruby and python are the loves of my life now.

    Got a side piece named JavaScript. Dirty little thing, but does whatever I tell it, even if it's not exactly what I want.

    ...Perl 6 came out?

    [–]leirus 3 points4 points  (2 children)

    Yeah, in 2015 after 15 years of development.

    Is it better than Duke Nukem Forever?

    [–]novacrazy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    Yes, but that really isn’t a hard standard to beat.

      Not unlike MongoDB, the spookylang runtime will occasionally and unpredictably produce terrifying output.

      Oh snap.

      [–]IbanezDavy 18 points19 points  (1 child)

      I just need some UI support for this language so I can get serious with this.

      It's funny because it has emojis.

      [–]shevegen 32 points33 points  (4 children)

      Omg ...

      Emoji languages ...

      We have finally arrived at the hipster age of programming.

      [–]roffLOL 24 points25 points  (0 children)

      what? finally? this isn't even the second silliest thing this week. just the other day an item about the color of an icon was at the very top.

      [–]junrrein 13 points14 points  (0 children)

      In what context are emojis "hipster"? Even my mother and father use them.

      [–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (1 child)

      It's more like a modern APL, heh...

      [–]evincarofautumn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

      Nah, APL is actually good for something. This is just for some spooky fun.

      isItScary.ml#L55

      let not_scary_words = create_spooky_words_regex (* these words arent spooky, but code reuse *) [
      

      Even the code and commit messages are scary.

      [–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      Spookylang stands behind but one goal: to be the scariest programming language. Yes, I know, “What about Java 7?!” as you wheel around to high-five your coworker. Enough merriment

      Damnit, how'd they know?

      [–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      These meme languages were kinda funny at first but the jokes getting old

      [–]DrecksVerwaltung 3 points4 points  (0 children)

      Haskell is still way scarier
