INTERCAL's PLEASE Politesse Checking

[–] bampop@lemmy.world 8 points 4 days ago

That's hilarious. I do hope it gets evaluated at run time. That way you could have a program that works most of the time but if some rare circumstance caused it to execute commands in a sequence where the correct level of politeness was not maintained it would get the hump and crash

LOL wow, I never even heard of INTERCAL. Does it have IF THEN MAYBE?

[–] Hupf@feddit.org 5 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

It does have ABSTAIN and COME FROM, for example. It doesn't have IF, of course. That would be silly.
