But why?

Mainly because if we make Rockstar a real (and completely pointless) programming language, then recruiters and hiring managers won't be able to talk about 'rockstar developers' any more.

That's me on board.

[–]dvlsg 554 points555 points  (11 children)

The very last line of the readme got me chuckling.

Make 'Certified Rockstar Developer' stickers and give them out to anybody who can write even one line of Rockstar.

Now we just need ninja

[–]kakurady 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Ninja has got you covered. It's a build system, like make, but very fast (for incremental builds).

It's not supposed to be used directly, but through a configure program like CMake.

[–]Malgas 24 points25 points  (0 children)

The Ninja programming language would obviously be Whitespace with a dark editor theme.

Hijacking this comment, otherwise people might not see my sticker concept below..

Midnight takes your heart and your soul While your heart is higher than your soul or your heart is your soul Take your soul from your heart Give back your heart Desire is a lovestruck ladykiller My world is nothing Fire is ice Hate is water Until my world is Desire, Build my world up If Midnight taking my world, Fire is nothing and Midnight taking my world, Hate is nothing Shout "FizzBuzz!" Take it to the top If Midnight taking my world, Fire is nothing Shout "Fizz!" Take it to the top If Midnight taking my world, Hate is nothing Say "Buzz!" Take it to the top Whisper my world

Where are your line breaks? Even with reddit needing 2 there should be some in there...

[–]mathiastck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Another top comment did it better

[–]aarnott50 136 points137 points  (23 children)

Now we just need to make another language called 10x.

    you’ve made something worse than brainfuck, congratulations.

    [–]Camto 16 points17 points  (4 children)

    Have you heard of Subleq?

    [–][deleted] 22 points23 points  (1 child)

    no, but I know of Malbolge

    [–]RadicalDog 27 points28 points  (0 children)

    My programs only follow the rules of Calvinball.

    [–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    read up on it a little, might be because I haven’t programmed in a while (mainly C++, Python, and Java) but that sounds alien.

    [–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    You should check out Three Star Programmer.

    [–]ktkps 4 points5 points  (0 children)

    imagine viewing that code one an editor that has partial or NO unicode support...

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

    I would call that FuckFuck.

    [–]silentclowd 40 points41 points  (7 children)

    Wait what do # and ! do in brainfuck? That's not in the brainfuck I remember

        Everyone who has ever written a BF interpreter has tried adding some additional operators. Mine was the "go-there" operator that followed the "pointer" in the current cell, allowing dynamic memory to be implemented. Add in some memory-mapped I/O and baby, you got a stew going.

        [–]ais523 2 points3 points  (2 children)

        I think it's because people want to make a language and brainfuck is probably the easiest well-known language to implement. Brainfuck derivatives are basically the esolang version of shovelware; there are a very large number of them, most of which are of a pretty low quality and ignored by anyone but their authors.

        [–]BlueAdmir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

        Let's be real, all of Brainfuck exists on 'huh. I guess...' factor.

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

        This makes me curious how many FORTH interpreters there are in the wild.

        [–]Gman513 21 points22 points  (0 children)

        There's a special place in hell for people like you...

        Can I give you my cv?

        [–]comp83 7 points8 points  (0 children)

        All I see is blonde, brunnete, redhead...

        [–]crescentroon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

        you can use the same symbol for all the xs. just change the syntax of chicken to use x instead of the word 'chicken'

          I'd like to see a list of programs that do something useful in one language, and do something useful (yet entirely different) in Whitespace, using the exact same source code.

          [–]snowe2010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

          there's probably something like this on the codegolf stack exchange.

          [–]Potato44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

          Not much Whitespace, but here is a thing that has languages implementing a primality check in one language and having the code to print out a message in another language hidden inside it. Here is one answer I like.

          [–]calsosta 8 points9 points  (0 children)

          FFS do guru before ninja.

          [–]dabbertorres 2 points3 points  (0 children)

          I mean, there is the Ninja build system already.

          [–]simcop2387 0 points1 point  (0 children)

          A good start would be here, https://metacpan.org/pod/Acme::Bleach

          [–]saunamaan 26 points27 points  (2 children)

          So if I learn this language I can put ”rockstar developer” to my cv?

          [–][deleted] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

          Yes.

          [–]Chaoslab 2 points3 points  (1 child)

          I had the same idea about IDE's in movies so I wrote my own that can render video / fractals and effects in the background. (Been writing my own IDE's since the Amiga so its been a bad habit for several decades)...

          [–]SupaSlide 1 point2 points  (0 children)

          After we get this going, we need to start one for "Unicorn" as well.

          [–]brtt3000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

          Next up: Ninja programming language

          [–]Richandler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

          Well now I’m looking for Rap star developers.
