Changing the color of an item programmatically

*Innocent look*

So I can calculate things like the XKCD number.

"Can" also means that you need a computer powerful enough. Besides, unless computing large numbers is a hobby (I wouldn't put it past you) or some part of your job, I'd think you'd be better off writing your own functions. That's probably what such a feature would look like in any language anyway, even as a builtin.

 

Point.

I just think it would be amusing.

You want amusing? Look at LOLCODE.

Seen it.

Also Brain Fuck, Whitespace, Piet, Velato, Omgrofl, Malbolge, and Befunge.

Dammit, stop being cooler than me. Although I do have to thank you for showing me those.

TBH I'd only heard about Malbolge before, but not in detail, and Befunge I found when trying to find Piet (by which I mean I'd forgotten the name).

I mean, look at Lisp.

Lisp is a functional language, not an imperative language.

While you obviously cant only have one way of doing things for everything, I'm sure it is one of the reasons why the parenthesis trick usually doesn't work. I'm sure it could be implemented without too much trouble, but is avoided for other reasons.

Yes, I know, but it's difficult to work with, and to understand.

 

PYTHON FTW!

I don't even know how I stumbled across LOLCODE; I think it was the Wikipedia random button. I was actually thinking about making an esoteric language myself that was completely grammatically correct.

Let "x" represent the number five.
If the value represented by "x" is greater than three, write "Hello, World" to the console.

That's called Natural Language Programming.  Wolfram Alpha is a good example.

Well, yes, but with fixed syntax, because I'm not that talented.
