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.
Technical info: Type annotations don’t do anything, but they help some people to feel more comfortable.
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.
Ah, the nightmares of writing F5 iRules.
TIL F5 iRules. I suppose I’m glad my career didn’t into NetOps.
Jut had an absolute field-day of the last couple of hours. This entire thing is just 🤌
Make sure to poke around the repo, there are some gems in there 109% code coverage badge and all of the nested directories cracked me up.
The Primeagen has a great reaction to dreamberd. Enjoy!
I wonder if it’s named after the YouTubers Dream and Berd. Interesting choice if so, haha!

I feel like this is based off our code base at work, where they never saw a singleton they didn’t fall in love with.
