Programming cuteness

This is awesome, in a really geeky way. Nerdy fans of LOLcats have created a programming language based on "LOLSpeak". LOLCode:
HAI
CAN HAS STDIO?
PLZ OPEN FILE "LOLCATS.TXT"?
    AWSUM THX
        VISIBLE FILE
    O NOES
        INVISIBLE "ERROR!"
KTHXBYE
Not only is this entirely awesome from a why not? point of view, it's entirely awesome from a security point of view. One of the big security problem areas is programmers who don't put in error checking. The AWSUM THZ/0 NOES bit is where the programmer is checking to see if there's an error opening the file.

I entirely approve of this, and urge all new web development to adopt LOLCode. Do it for the Children™!

    I'm going to be giggling over this for days. Maybe it's time to sign up my 5 cats to help with my coding projects.

    Uh... just realized that there's a syntax error in the post.

    Line 8 should read "kthxbai"

    My catpiler found it...
