A few months ago, I wrote about a humorous site that was trying to make a programming language based on the lol cat language. You know, the funny pictures of cats with captions that are all over the net.

Well, I thought it was nothing but a joke and no real compiler would ever come of it. But I was wrong. A guy has managed to get a version of the code compiling in Visual Studio. You can even debug it.

Talk about having too much time on your hands. This guy must be bored. While building a compiler for a new language on the dot.net platform is supposed to be easier than building a compiler from scratch, it still can’t be all that easy. Anyway, kudos to this guy for getting it done.

Check out his site: LOLCode.net - Now your LOLCats can use the CLR!

If you aren’t into programming you probably won’t get this. In fact, if you haven’t encountered the exciting and superbly stupid Internet fad of posting captions on pictures of other peoples cats, you probably still won’t get this even if you are into programming.

LolCode is a new(theoretical) programming language based on Anil Dash’s LoLCat grammar dictionary. If you haven’t read it you really should. It’s hilarious. You can find his grammar dictionary at Cats can has grammar.

Anyway, back to the programming language. Here is an example of loop to count to 10.

HA
  ICAN HAS STDIO?
  I HAS A VAR
  IM IN YR LOOP
    UP VAR!! 1
    VISIBLE VAR
    IZ VAR BIGGER THAN 10?
      KTHXBYE
  IM OUTTA YR LOOP
KTHXBYE

I love the beginning and ending tags in the language. Hai and Kthxbye are just great.
