Programmers have created a functional programming language based on the peculiar speech of LOLCats. Linguists may analyze the grammar of LOLCats, but hackers make it DO STUFF. From Nick's Blog: "LOLCode is an emerging esoteric (and hilarious) language based on the dialect used in LOLCats images. It's been siezed upon by a group of people (myself included, now), and is being expanded into a real, workable, turing complete esoteric language (though nobody has proven its turing completeness yet!). The LOLCode.NET compiler is now working, and as a nearly-free bonus for using the .NET platform, you can even debug it in Visual Studio." Link (Thanks, Adam!)

I beg to differ. Proof follows:
IZ LOLCode TURING COMPLETE? YES IZ COS WE SAYS IT SO!
And here was me, cynical old bar steward, hoping the whole LOL* would die sooner rather than later...
The command VISIBLE is not very LOLCAT. It isn't even misspelled. How about:
SAYZ "HELO WRLD!!!!"
or SEZ or YELZ ...
#4: You're not very familiar with the old cat macros, are you?

I should have known there was a reason ...
When will there be a translator/converter like txt2lol.com out?
Visible is not a "print" equivelent, it's a variable declaration :D
This is not the first time LOLCat inpired PL to feature at BoingBoing:

I prefer the Python implementation:

Isn't it an imperative programing language, not a functional programing language?
Isn't it an imperative programing language, not a functional programing language?
I think Cory was talking about the usefullness of the language, not about the Functional Paradigm :)
@Jerril: Actually, visible is a print style statement: http://lolcode.com/keywords/visible.
Yes, my guess is that Eduardo is correct, and Cory didn't realize that "functional programming language" has a specific meaning other than "it works".
there is nothing *cat about this, there are no images after all. its not even 'lol'.
