At the Microsoft TechEd 2007 Conference in Australia, Microsoft shook the entire cheezburger industry today when it announced official support for the LOLCode programming language in favor over C#. In an attempt to appeal to younger and more cat-loving programmers. The next release of Visual Studio, renamed to “Cheezburger Studio” will only support LOLCode to increase (kitten) adoption rates. The new LOLCode debugger, dubbed “Cheezburgler” is said to make programming “delicious”.
Nick Hodge was on the show floor giving a quick attendees a quick taste (pun) of LOLCode and Cheezburger Studios.
The announcement, appropriately delivered right before lunch, attracted many attendees looking for a tasty treat.
Nick was giving a quick history lesson on LOLCat, including many real-life imitations.
Nick goes through some sample code to demonstrate the breakthrough features of LOLCode.
Joe Pobar, program manager for CLR (Common LOLCode Runtime), gives his approval.
By the end of the day everyone agreed LOLCode was the future and was impressed to see Microsoft at the forefront of programming technologies.

Berno
Wow! Even Joel Pobar (ex CLR PM) seems impressed by LOLCode
Tom
hm… I don’t get that hold LoLcats craze… cute? maybe. Funny? only if you have the intellect of a 5 year old. Am I alone with this thinking?
I must be a dog person or something.
Juancho
Is this a Joke?, how can ‘this’ be called a programming language? :S
Jordan Messenger
This is no joke, LOLCode is a significant advancement in programing language and its great to see Microsoft promoteing new technologies
Koogle
LOLCode… awesome
cryptic vampire
LOL code!!! Woot Woot
Michael
I agree with Tom, I think LOLCats is just plain silly talk. I guess it sounds funny, but it’s not cute or anything. It’s just sily.
Zim
So that thing about some ROFLcode was true! Let’s google what’s this all about
Ajeet Khurana
Now, I am going to come up with ROFLIMPcode, FYIcode, YMMVcode and a bunch of other codes based on common acronyms and abbreviations LOL, oops!
Glenn Alvarez
Is ridiculous a strong enough word to respond to this
or should I avoid the smiley and just say LOL. LOLCats might be silliness (or not), but it once again demonstrates how a simple innovation can capture the imagination of many. That is what we need — innovation.

LOCODE is highly influenced by languages like Python and Perl, but is focused on ease-of use and humour. The side effect of humour as a goal is it becomes easy to remember.
This is a useful thing in getting new people interested in programming.
Nick Johnson
Is that my implementation that they’re using? I’d be delighted if it was - featured at a teched conference! And nobody even mentioned it to me!
Long Zheng
@Nick Johnson: Yep, they used your .NET compiler!
katurday
Awesome! Can I has lolcats?
Paul
LOL Microsoft are idiots if they believe this is a good move. Watch there empire and client base come crashing down if they eventually stop supporting .NET to continue a language like Lolcode.
Lucy
ROTFLMAATOWMSOOMN!!!
Some people just take life WAY too seriously!! Sheesh!!
I am off, coz I can haz cheezburger now - coz I am in ur puter sendn reealitee cheks. kthnxbye
Paul's Polar Opposite
Paul, I’ve created a bridge application using LOLCode, and I’d like to sell it to you.
Julian
Hhahaa.. LOLCode! w0000t?
BTW, seems lots of ppl who posted comments here need a serious medical help. Guys, go get some life autside your programming IDE
anomalous4
=ROFLmeow= LOLcode is full of win!
miranda
Gee, Tom & Co. Being amused by things that are “silly” != “having the intellect of a five-year-old.”
(I think almost everyone amused by LOLcatitude is well aware that it’s all silliness; it doesn’t say anything about their intellectual level, only about their sense of humor. They could as easily say, “People who don’t like LOLcats have no sense of humor,” but that isn’t true either… liking LOLcats is indicative of nothing except maybe spending too much time fooling around on the http://WWW.)
miranda
OK, now, really! The WEB. Not the “please insert http:// where I didn’t type it.”
Oasis Fleeting
Is this just some guys goofing around, or can i really develop some funny lolcode with visual studio? From what it looks, it looks like a scripting language, can it be used on the server side like php? I want to play with it.
Oasis Fleeting
KTHXBYE

Diario di un traduttore » Blog Archive » Il codice “LOL”
[...] LOLCODE nasce quest’anno, di 25 marzo, per mano di Adam Lindsay, il quale, spedito il codice dell’esempio sopra a un amico, si rende conto che avrebbe potuto valere la pena di dare maggior visibilità alla sua “creatura”. Da lì molte cose sono successe, non ultima, ma certamente fondamentale, quella che ha visto Microsoft fornire supporto per il suo utilizzo. Riporto direttamente la news come è stata data: At the Microsoft TechEd 2007 Conference in Australia, Microsoft shook the entire cheezburger industry today when it announced official support for the LOLCode programming language in favor over C#.
