A convergence waiting to happen?
Most programming languages use English words in a roughly-sensible order, after all:
if (apple)
eat(apple--);
else
apple = 1;
This is clearly understandable as "If you have an apple, eat the apple. Otherwise, get an apple", and the observant will note that implicit in the fact that you eat the apple is the fact that you're going to have one less apple..
So when you have something like lolcats which puts similarly fractured-yet-logical English into its captions, is it any wonder that somebody decided to make a programming language out of it?
I'll put it on my list of languages to learn, right after C and Python are out of the way.
In the meantime, here are some of the lolcats I rather liked:
