HAI... IM IN YR LOOP... KTHXBYE

Lately I've been enjoying I CAN HAS CHEEZBURGER quite a lot, and have even tried making a few of my own images to submit to them.  But today I discovered that there is a group who are trying to create a programming language out of "Kitteh Speak"!  It's called LOLCODE, and it's further along than you might think.  They already have a 1.2 specification, and there are several alpha implementation for compilers... even one for Visual Studio!

Here is an example for Hello World:

HAI
CAN HAS STDIO?
VISIBLE "HAI WORLD!"
KTHXBYE

Can you imagine how many of the world's problems programmers could fix if we didn't have these kinds of side projects?

You say:
> how many of the world's problems programmers could fix if we didn't have these kinds of side projects

Not to be defensive, but I'm the sort of guy who thinks that more of the world's problems could be fixed with *more* of these side projects. Creativity and humor, to my mind, are what keep people fresh and productive, not "keeping one's eye on the ball."

I vote for that. Companies that know how to keep people humored and encourage thinking outside the box, will eventually come up with the best innovative ideas/
