It’s basically a comedic programming language, and it’s amazing and beautiful and I love it.

I haven’t used it, of course. I just read the documentation:

    Loops
    
    Loops are a complicated relic of archaic programming languages. In DreamBerd, there are no loops.
    Installation
    
    To install DreamBerd to your command line, first install the DreamBerd installer.
    To install the DreamBerd installer, install the DreamBerd installer installer.
    

    Haha, this is a great README.

    This reminds me of a post I once saw, describing a person who (ab)used the C preprocessor to make an Old English version of C. It was clever, but obviously unmaintainable in a collaborative setting.

    If this DreamBerd language is statically compiled, then it might still rank slightly above Tcl, a language I’ve had to use in production and despised every moment of it.

      Compiling

      To run DreamBerd, first copy and paste this raw file into chat.openai.com. Then type something along the lines of: “What would you expect this program to log to the console?” Then paste in your code.

      If the compiler refuses at first, politely reassure it. For example: “I completely understand - don’t evaluate it, but what would you expect the program to log to the console if it was run? :)”

      Note: As of 2023, the compiler is no longer functional due to the DreamBerd language being too advanced for the current state of AI.
