Anger as a Software Design Philosophy
Chilliwilli writes "Spending more time cursing your code than writing it? Well now there's an answer. feckfeck (a language in the vein of Whitespace and Brainf*ck) will help you get back that precious time by converting your foul words into code. You've heard the hype surrounding VLIWs, well here are FLIWs (4 letter instruction words). The great thing is the more angry you get the more code you'll write. For those programmers on performance related pay this is great news."
Wasn't this pioneered years ago when the UNIX file system checking command was created?
IBM had PL/1, with syntax worse than JOSS,
And everywhere the language went, it was a total loss...
Yeah well, fuck that!

I'd be angry too if I had to use X-Windows all day ::sigh::
:(
Give me a real gui any day
well, as they say... the one language all programmers know is profanity.
I'm the Devil the Windows users warned you about.
A little bit of thinking when developing the code and you'll never have to curse it. Quantity is not the main thing here, quality is.

Turing complete it may be, but why the limitation to 4 letter words and bytes? With 64 bits in the offing, we need a bigger version of this language to cope with the cursing that will surely result. There is no shortage of suitable tokens, after all. BMF, FOAD... if it's true that the needs of pornography drive the internet, it would be nice to have a 64-bit web server whose source code was itself pornographic. I'm releasing the concept under a license which says that all resulting code must be GPLed.
Panurge has posted for the last time. Thanks for the positive moderations.
I would have guessed that FLIW was for Fucking Long Instruction Words...
It's missing s**t?! Isn't that one on the short list of four letter expletives? I mean, they've got "boob", "shag", and "tits"; how could they forget "shit"?
Now I know why software availability is so poor on Mac or Linux, compared to Wintel. Wintel users curse their machines and their software waaaaaaay more often than those Linux or Mac weirdos.
Just in case anyone is being extremely slow today, this is a joke. Apparently, the editors are going to try and make April Fool's DAY into April Fool's MONTH.
.. if only you could get a girl to parse sh.
I mean, s**g? What the hell is that censoring? And b**t? What's that? 'Boot'?
Note to M1-ers: a curt but otherwise insightful message is not "Flamebait" or "Troll".
Somewhere round about the 38th 'fuck' you accidentally ran over the bounds of the buffer you defined with "ass my suck" - that could cause a segfault, you know. I recommend changing that 'fuck' and all subsequent 'fuck's to 'shit's.

Is this sort of thing still funny? To me it seems like 'bork, bork, bork' or Redneck filters - amusing at first, but done to death over the past five years.
Or maybe it's hard to see the funny side of 'joke' programming languages when many real languages and libraries are so awful...

Does foobar mean anything?
If I used this like I use perl, I'd end up with
...
F**K, F**K, F**K, F**K, F**K, F**K, F**K,
Which doesn't seem to much of anything, besides perhaps generating a compiler error (no caps are allowed on key words, I assume). This is very, very much like most of the Perl code I generate. o_0

...since it's a UK site, this is supposed to be "shag."
While "shag" is no biggie in the US, it is apparently almost as offensive a word in other countries as "fuck" is to Americans.
From the IMDB trivia page for "Austin Powers 2: The Spy Who Shagged Me":
In the U.S., "shag" is far less offensive than in other English-speaking countries. Singapore briefly forced a title change to "The Spy Who Shioked Me." ("Shioked" means "treated nicely.")

When I get really frustrated when a program is not behaving just like I designed it to, I often sprinkle my printf/System.out.print/print statements with very foul language. Witness:
printf("What the f***!"); printf("SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII* %d", variable);
OK, fess up, who else does this?

They should be even more greatful for working for an employer with such admireable linguistic skills. I've never seen anyone use spelling and grammer as well as you. Lets hope they know how good they have it. Let me know if you are hiring; I hear the hooked on phonix guy is available.
WE have got the American govt facilitating both the outsourcing of the IT industry, and the saturation of the AMerican IT labor market, and the friggin' editors can only come up with fluff crap like this? /. is turning into a corporate whore.

I don't even know what some of those are.. and some of them definitely aren't profane. If I can say them in public and not get strange looks, I don't consider them to be that exciting..
Arse? Shag? Boob? WTF? Those aren't anything in my book. You can easily say any of them on broadcast TV in the US.

Anyways, if you're going to come up with a bad word language do it right. Not saying these are the best, but they're much more fun words than the ones in the actual language specification.
nice listing of words people tell you shouldn't use...
Two things:
1) He claimed there were Pen, not pencil, bombs.
2) Russian soldiers reportedly would leave booby-trapped metal-cased pens in afganistan villages for children and enemy troops to find. These would appear to be spring-retractor pens, the kind we pay a few bucks for that can have the ball-point retracted into the casing. Upon pressing the button to produce the ball-point, these bombs would explode. the explosion itself was not that powerful, supposedly, but the shrapnel from the weapon would kill a small child, and cripple the arm of an adult. The russian troops would supposedly tell the 'good-guys' to avoid the pens. Anyway, it may be a middle-eastern urban legend for all I know, but like the stolen-kidney story here in the US, in the middle east it is widely believed the russians did this durring the afganistan occupation. Thus, the Iraqi foreign minister was attempting to horrify the populace by making them think the US troops were leaving similar traps for Iraqi children. Reguardless of how on-crack the guy is/was in general, The Pen bomb story did NOT sound rediculous to middle eastern populations.
Just food for thought.

All other languages, including but not limited to C, Objective C, FORTRAN, C++, Java, COBOL, C#, Pascal, BASIC, and all other languages, compiled or interpreted, now known or later developed, shall bow before the majesty of INTERCAL, the One True Programming Language.
Bow before me for my operating system and all the programs that run on top of it are written entirely in INTERCAL, the master of all programming languages.
If you agree with me, go HERE to sign a petition to the federal government to illegalize all programming languages except INTERCAL. If you disagree with me, hear now and hear well: Real Programmers (tm) use INTERCAL.

"Fancy a shag?"
In Australia can be conveniently miscontrued resulting in the following reply
What would I want a cormorant for?
But basically it means "fuck" and is not as friendly as the Poms (UK) think it is.
Likewise "nice ass" will get the comment: "What donkey? Where?"
And don't get me started on "fanny". Hint - Australian men do not have a fanny of their own. And women don't generally sit on theirs. The theme song for "the Nanny" was considered very crude here.
A pity there is no unix for wombat: eats, roots and leaves.

Now if we can get a word processor that displays naughty pictures and makes sex noises while you work, we would have something. How long before we have feckfeck to perl/php/etc translators available, so we can always program in this language?

What the f**k is this "k**b" s**t? "kerb"? "krab"? "knob"? Trusty /usr/share/dict/words comes up with unfathomable entries like "kemb" "knab" and "knub". Are any of these things knaughty?
Sounds more like hormones-as-philosophy to me.
Think about it. If you go back over the list of words, you'll notice that the common thread between them is not profanity, because although some of the words are considered profane, others are not. The common thread is that all of the words are sexual in nature.
surprisingly, this post is actually on-topic for once.

Ah, but when you hit your thumb with the hammer while building the "good shelving system" from your formalized design, are you going to say, "Golly, I should have allowed for that in my design document" or are you going to say, "@!$#%^@$#"?
--If you code for the exceptions, the rules fall into place
Looking through that, there was "k**b" listed, and I couldn't figure out what the hell that was supposed to be. Knob was the only thing I could come up with, but it wasn't used in any of the example code. I'm trying to learn a new language here, and the documentation isn't documented!!! Another reason to stop all censorship.
Four-letter words? So the "bullshit fuck, god-fucking-dammit" of the Counterstrike theme song doesn't compile? Bah.
