There's a big misconception about programmers – that they can't have fun while they work! How else could we explain programming languages like TrumpScript, LOLCODE, Shakespeare, and others?
So today we'll get to know the 6 craziest and weirdest programming languages! Are you ready to see our list?
1. TrumpScript: “We hope our efforts will make programming great again”
TrumpScript is a programming language inspired by the life and quotes of American presidential candidate Donald Trump.
After a total of 20 hours of coding, the developers managed to write TrumpScript, a 'python based' programming language inspired by Donald Trump, but... what exactly does that mean?
To write a program in TrumpScript, you must select malformed statements using only pre-formed words and only a small subset of the 'logical' operator. Error messages will not help you locate the bug in your code. Words like “true” or “false” have been replaced by “fact” and “lie”.

Some of the features of TrumpScript:
– It only has integers. America doesn’t do half-baked things!
– All numbers must be strictly greater than 1 million. Small things are insignificant to Americans.
– Import statements are not allowed.
– Instead of True / False, we have fact / lie.
– Only the most popular words in the English language, Trump’s favorite words, and modern politicians’ names can be used as variable names.
– Error messages are mostly excerpts from Trump’s sayings.
– All programs must end with the phrase “America is great.”
In its raw form, TrumpScript is not compatible with Windows, because Trump is not the type of guy who would trust a computer. 😀

2. LOLCODE: “Lolspeak is real”
Adam Lindsay, a researcher at Lancaster University Computing Department, invented LOLCODE almost 10 years ago. This internal programming language is derived from the LOLCats phenomenon and uses LOLCats syntax to function properly. You'll probably overlook all its shortcomings when you take a second look at its 'Hello World!' code.
LOLCODE may be beautiful, but it's also more than that. According to its official website, there are many different applications in languages such as .NET, Java, Python, Perl, and PHP.
3. Shakespeare: “The infamous Hello World program”
This programming language was created with the goal of making source code look like Shakespeare's plays. Jon Aslund and Karl Hesselstörm are the designers of Shakespeare, a language unlike any other. Variables must be named after Shakespearean characters, and constants are defined by positive or negative nouns.
You can take a look at the source code:
“To be or not to be?”
