For those programming sticklers out there, the language is “completely case-insensitive,” and won’t run in root mode “because America doesn’t need your help in being great.” Do you like programming with platforms that will alert you to failures before they cascade into disasters?

Trump: The Programming Language?
Whatever you think of Donald Trump’s attempt to become President of the United States, it’s hard to deny that he’s provoked a lot of, er, interesting responses. For example, there’s now TrumpScript, a (joking) variation on the Python programming language. “We found that the current field of programming languages does not include any that Trump's glorious golden combover would approve of,” according to the description accompanying the language’s repository on GitHub. “TrumpScript is our solution to this. It's the programming language Trump would approve of.” TrumpScript features no floating-point numbers, only integers, because (according to the description) “America never does anything halfway.” No import statements are allowed, and only “popular English words, Trump’s favorite words, and current politician names” can serve as variable names: For those programming sticklers out there, the language is “completely case-insensitive,” and won’t run in root mode “because America doesn’t need your help in being great.” Do you like programming with platforms that will alert you to failures before they cascade into disasters?
