it's kinda funny how we've reinvented INTERCAL, down to having to say PLEASE DO
Somebody posted this prompt, which attempts to make ChatGPT responses less friendly and more critical.
Feels like a rich document for a science-and-technology-studies analysis.

INTERCAL and Urbit, right?
By 2035 there will only be two programming languages

there's only one "correct" programming language and yes, it is the one your thinking of

Hi! Firmware and low level engineer here.
The little person in the computer's name is Jo, and yeah they can be pretty chill if you're cool.
Knuth had long conversations with Jo, that's why INTERCAL is the way it is.

All other factors aside, I strongly recommend not taking your advice on what’s easy from the creator of Urbit, which is more or less the most unintuitive computing system you can find without getting into stuff like INTERCAL.
Yarvin mocks Trump regime officials for failing to understand the measures they would need to take to end representative democracy in the United States.
That Yarvin is a close personal friend of the vice president is, for some reason, not a story.

Abgesehen davon finde ich, wir sollten einfach alle Programmiersprachen forken, und das Prinzip aus INTERCAL überall implementieren, dass das Entwickly oft genug "Please" in den code schreiben muss

The 1972 INTERCAL Compiler Revealed
INTERCAL stands for 'Compiler Language With No Pronounceable Acronym'; the computed COME FROM is awesome in a 'wow, I just can't stop staring' way
Everyone tell me your favourite esoteric programming language (please thank you)
My favourite is INTERCAL, which has the COME FROM statement, which is like a reverse GOTO. Also, it has a PLEASE keyword, and if your program is too polite or not polite enough, it won't compile.
