Code that speaks Gen-Z

Real programming — variables, functions, loops, recursion, closures — but every keyword is internet slang.

primes.brt

1	trust_me_bro MAX = 100
2
3	let_him_cook isPrime(n) {
4	chat_is_this_real (n < 2) {
5	take_this cap
6	}
7	run_it_back (trust_me_bro i = 2; i * i <= n; i += 1) {
8	chat_is_this_real (n % i == 0) {
9	take_this cap
10	}
11	}
12	take_this fr_fr
13	}

15	let_him_cook main() {
16	trust_me_bro count = 0
17	run_it_back (trust_me_bro n = 2; n <= MAX; n += 1) {
18	chat_is_this_real (isPrime(n)) {
19	say_my_name(n)
20	count += 1
21	}
22	}
23	say_my_name("Total primes: ")
24	say_my_name(count)
25	}

Full Interpreter Pipeline

Lexer, Parser, AST builder, and tree-walking evaluator — built from scratch in Go. Every stage of compilation, laid bare.

14 Meme Keywords

trust_me_bro for var. let_him_cook for function. chat_is_this_real for if. Every keyword is internet slang you already know.

Cross-Platform Binary

Single static binary. No runtime, no dependencies. Cross-compile to Windows, macOS, or Linux in one command.

Educational Design

Clean Go source code that teaches real compiler concepts — scoping, closures, recursion, error recovery — through a language that makes you laugh.

Keyword translation table

Every keyword maps 1:1 to a standard programming concept. Learn the vibes, understand the code.
