- koala_advert 13y agoI hate this bullshit.
- lowboy 13y agoWow such angry.
- jk211e 13y agoso useless
- thenerdfiles 13y agoI don't even
- jbeja 13y agoOk....why? And please don't replay "Why not?"
- jawerty 13y agoWhy not?
- monkeyspaw 13y agoWhy build it? Because it appealed to the author, perhaps in a way you can't understand. Why share it? From the comments, I understand that it was shared by someone else, and the original creator didn't intend for it to be put on HN. Why judge it? That's the question I'm trying to figure out while reading this thread.
- jbeja 13y agoThat doesn't answer my question :p
- monkeyspaw 13y agoMy point was that your question wasn't very interesting.
- bobbydavid 13y agoit certainly answers your question. It's just not the answer you were looking for ;)
- kalleboo 13y agoBecause it's amusing
- Cthulhu_ 13y agowow such question
- eudox 13y agoAll it needs now to be perfect is Hindley-Milner type inference.
- steveklabnik 13y agoWhat's funny about this is that every comment here is calling this useless, yet it's something that's very much in the hacker spirit. Utility is not the end goal of everything.
- jk211e 13y agogreat if it helps you learn something. shouldn't be on hn front page.

- harel 13y agoFront page of HN is exactly where this should be.
- thenerdfiles 13y agoYes. Absolutely! I'm getting so sick of "sprints" and Trello cards and test-driven-hubris... The Internet is falling apart; economies are going ape-shit everywhere... The least we can do is preserve this beautiful craft of programming, and have fun with it. Rather that deluding ourselves into believing that we need yet another Search-for-the-Thing-in-our-Company's-Metadata app.
- arvidkahl 13y agomany truth. I particularly enjoy the ingenuity of some constructions in there : such nested plz console.loge with ['so', 'wow'] The hilarity!
- thenerdfiles 13y agoIs the point that we need a transpiler for any idiolect to JavaScript?
- remixz 13y agoHiya! I'm the creator of this. I did not expect this to be here (nor did I especially want it to...). If it isn't painfully obvious, this is a joke, so please don't take it too seriously. Thanks!
- fragsworth 13y agoIt's really cute and clever. I sort of wish I thought of it, because I really do enjoy getting little morsels of hacker fame (or infamy) for stuff like this.
- RossPenman 13y agoHey dude. I submitted this link. I'm really sorry if you didn't want it to be here. I just saw the link on Twitter and thought it would be a cool thing to share. I feel awful now knowing that you didn't want it to be here.
- remixz 13y agoHey, no problem! Please don't feel bad (makes me feel bad :P). I mostly said that because of knowing how HN can respond to jokes. I'm totally good with it though. Thanks for enlightening HN with doge!
- RossPenman 13y agoThanks, that's a relief. :) Congratulations on getting to number 1, anyway.
- proksoup 13y agoI think it's legitimately awesome. I really want to see a language that does away with even more symbols (like replacing period with "of") - and your use of lulz speak or whatever you want to call it makes the symbol replacements short and accessible.
- proksoup 13y agoOh I think I just got it. doge script uses words from that doge meme like "wow". Whoosh over my head.

- ryeguy 13y agoMore to the point: http://www.reddit.com/r/supershibe http://www.reddit.com/r/supershibe
- benatkin 13y agoWell, that subreddit is written by fans of supershibe, so someone who isn't into it might not be interested in what they have to say. Google Trends is already a trusted source for many.
- jawerty 13y agoI think it's pretty funny. This is firsthand codecomedy.
- harel 13y agoThis is really funny. I quite enjoyed it. I wouldn't take any serious comments here seriously. Unfortunately the distribution of sense-of-humour in the world is not even. Some get a bigger chunk of it than others. The next time anyone mentions CoffeeScript to me, I'll send them here. Much better.
- eudox 13y ago"At least Dogescript has reasonable scoping!"
- DonPellegrino 13y agoSadly true.
- krapp 13y agoThe joke is here, it just isn't evenly distributed.
- cpfohl 13y agoMy favorite quote, by John Wannamaker, reads just like that. (I learned when reading "How to Make Friends and Influence People") "I learned thirty years ago that it is foolish to scold. I have enough trouble overcoming my own limitations without fretting over the fact that God has not seen fit to distribute evenly the gift of intelligence."
- minikites 13y agoElwood P. Dowd: Years ago my mother used to say to me, "In this world, Elwood, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant." Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant.
- agrias 13y agoHaha this has made my day
- gcatalfamo 13y agoI want the Kittyscript plugin of Dogescript
- thenerdfiles 13y agoI'll up you: NyanScript.
- kalleboo 13y agohttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LOLCODE http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LOLCODE
- code_duck 13y agoI like the syntax! Reminiscent of http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/LOLCODE http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/LOLCODE but probably more usable.
- robot_ 13y agoI got a huge laugh out of this. I love how some of the statements I ended up writing could almost be interpreted as poetry, hilarious poetry.
- possibilistic 13y agoIn case you aren't familiar with this meme, it's the Shiba Inu meme, termed "Shibe" or "Doge". * http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/doge http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/doge * http://reddit.com/r/shibe http://reddit.com/r/shibe * http://www.reddit.com/r/supershibe http://www.reddit.com/r/supershibe
- ufo 13y agowhy do they even have two separate subreddits for that?
- theorique 13y agosuch popularity so doge wow many reddit
- AsymetricCom 13y agoThis caused me to exhale air sharply through my nostrils.
- Cthulhu_ 13y agoWelcome to the internet!
- akurtzhs 13y agoBecause /r/shibe's original moderator drove out a large number of subscribers and shut it down temporarily, and they created /r/supershibe in response. Standard internet drama.
- Helianthus 13y agohttp://reddit.com/r/fifthworldshibe http://reddit.com/r/fifthworldshibe
- ddp 13y agoWhat's funny is that it reads a lot like COBOL.
- dpcan 13y agoI like it. And I always wondered why a programming language couldn't exist to work as follows: Start Run at 60 frames per second and do Clear the screen Draw a rectangle at (10,10) with size (100,50) and rotate it 20 degrees Repeat End Or something along those lines - hopefully you get my point. This would be fun for prototyping. I could just speak to my computer and have it translate my plain english into a working program :)
- chrismonsanto 13y agoSeems similar to Processing (http://processing.org/ http://processing.org/)
- nightpool 13y agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_language_programming https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_language_programming Plenty of things already work like this. For example, check out Inform 7 http://inform7.com/ http://inform7.com/ or the Robot C natural language module http://www.robotc.net/NaturalLanguage/ http://www.robotc.net/NaturalLanguage/. Or, more generally, LOGO https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logo_%28programming_language%29 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logo_%28programming_language%2...
- icelancer 13y agoLOGO was exactly what I thought of when I saw his post. 'pen up' and 'pen down' and so forth jive very well with "natural" language.
- dbpatterson 13y agoProbably because programming languages require a precision that natural languages do not have, so you end up having english words that only mean a certain form of their meaning, and completely broken grammar (and/or near impossible to implement). At which point, you are just confusing people by saying "it is like english" (or X natural language).
- neckro23 13y agoLingo, the scripting language for Macromedia Director, looked almost exactly like that. It was a real pain in the ass as soon as you tried to do anything more advanced than, say, drawing rectangles.
- guerrilla 13y agoWell, you made me smile :)
- Option_User_ 13y agoAbsolutely disgusting, may I request that you reddit/manchild honeypot users please refrain from posting your degenerate garbage on here.
- 10098 13y agoMay I suggest that you STFU
- dannytatom 13y agosuch anger wow
- becojo 13y agoso mad
- xj9 13y agoWhy u mad?
- 10098 13y agoBUT DOES THIS WORK WITH NODE.JS?!1
- becojo 13y agoYes. It's even a Node module.
- arvidkahl 13y agoThe thing that made me crack up was "console.loge" - love it.
- a8da6b0c91d 13y agoMany of these internet memes are genius hilarious. People know the good Monty Python bits 40 years on. The good doge pics bust my guts just like that stuff. Will anyone get or remember this in 20 years? Interesting times.
- chrismonsanto 13y agoAll your base is still funny 20 years later!
- chinpokomon 13y agoThat can't be 20 years old yet can it? I loved how AYBIBTU was used to torment many talk shows, like Love Line and Tom Green. Good times.
- minimaxir 13y agoThe logical next step would be to write a wordcloud generator in Dogescript. Which always includes a "wow".
- curiousdannii 13y agoA word cloud of all words in all doge images. Wow.
- T3RMINATED 13y agopure gargbage
- lemiffe 13y agorly?
- piracyde25 13y agoReminds me of LOLCODE [1] [1]http://lolcode.org/ http://lolcode.org/
- tylerlh 13y agoso wow. much smile. Great job on this. Made my day
- deleted 13y ago[deleted]
- Lockyy 13y agoYay, looping just for those who're upset. very mad is true many mad plz console.loge with "rawr rawr stop posting amusing/funny things" wow
- georgeoliver 13y agoAm I the only one who read the title as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doge http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doge script?
- andrewflnr 13y agoAt first I got "dodgescript", but yeah, then I was thinking, "what the heck does this have to do with doges?"
- crabasa 13y agoThis is totally awesome. I was already excited about Zach's upcoming talk at CascadiaJS [1] but now I can't wait to see what he's got up his sleeve. [1] http://2013.cascadiajs.com/speakers/zach-bruggeman http://2013.cascadiajs.com/speakers/zach-bruggeman
- daemin 13y agoIt seems to me that a lot of these toy/joke languages are just thin wrappers around existing languages. Something that can be accomplished by a few #defines or regexes to transform it into a runnable language.
- twodayslate 13y agoAre there any tutorial that go about implementing your own compile-to-js language?
- davidw 13y agoAs someone who lives in territory that belonged to the Republic of Venice for longer than Italy has been a going concern, 'Doge' means one of the leaders of that Republic.
- nickthemagicman 13y agoIs it turing complete?
- namuol 13y agoSomebody had to do it.
- thiderman 13y agosuch plug very terminal shibe so hax many monads https://github.com/thiderman/doge https://github.com/thiderman/doge https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6667414 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6667414
- jiggy2011 13y agoChallenge for the month, persuade your boss to use this in production.
- Pot 13y agoI'm not a js coder but this is really fun to take an eye on the dogescript
- zamnedix 13y agoReminds me of LOLCODE. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LOLCODE http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LOLCODE
- davexunit 13y agoThank you, doge. I love it.
- hawleyal 13y agoThis lang gave me cancer.
- lukehorvat 13y agoComedy is dead.
- whalesalad 13y agoThe console.loge had me laughing pretty hard.
- heyandy 13y agoVery funny. Maybe useless but amusing.
