It’s in Intercal, a joke language from '70s. Mark Rendle describes it here in his talk at NDC. This whole talk is ridiculous btw.
This is the same language where you have to say
PLEASEsometimes or it won’t compile. But if you sayPLEASEtoo much, the compiler will think you’re pandering and also refuse to compile. The range between too polite and not polite enough is not specified and varies by implementation.I love how arbitrary, cultural and opinionated that must be to work with. You’d learn something about the implimenter of the compiler by using it for a while.
This is hilarious!
Guy who worked at my place before me kept using these and GOTO statements all over the place.
His name? Cotton-eyed Joe
where did you COMEFROM where did you GO…TO
where did you COMEFROM, cottonEyedJoe2
PLEASE COMEFROM 🏷
That sounds like a fucking nightmare. I had to troubleshoot poorly-written-yet-somehow-functional GOTOs a lot when I was a BAS technician and that’s annoying enough.
Wh… what do you mean, “originally as a joke”?
Looks like C# 12 interceptors:
[InterceptsLocation(@"C:\testapp\Program.cs", line: 4, column: 5)]I know it looks awful, but it’s not intended for direct use, but rather for source generators for native ahead of time compilation.
