The latest in programming lanugages

Here is late-breaking news about programming languages. The newest, spiffiest, got-to-have-it language is out. It's called LOLcode.

The name comes from the internet LOLcats, since the language is based on their dialect of English. To my knowledge, this is the only programming language based on English since COBOL.

Here is a sample program:

HAI
VISIBLE "I can has cheezburger?"

I HAS A VAR ITZ 1
VISIBLE "I do count!"

IM IN YR LOOP
   VISIBLE VAR
   IZ VAR BIGGER THAN 19 O RLY?
      YA RLY
         GTFO
      NO WAI
         UP VAR!!1
   KTHX
KTHX

KTHXBYE

Like COBOL, all keywords and variable names are in uppercase. And like COBOL, it is meant to be 'readable'. Unlike COBOL, it is meant to be readable by today's up-and-coming internet-savvy, text-phone-using teens, the programmers of tomorrow.

This just may be the next big thing for programming.

Remember, you saw it here first!
