LOLCODE is an esoteric programing language designed to mimic many internet memes.

LOLCODE is an esoteric programing language designed to mimic many Internet memes. It was invented by Adam Lindsay of Lancaster University in 2007 and first implemented as a PHP parser by Jeff Jones.

The latest stable LOLCODE specification is version 2. Multiple compilers and interpreters implement it, along with candidate feature improvements in discussion for version 3. As such, LOLCODE is available as an embedded extension on multiple platforms including the JVM and the CLR, as well as standalone interpreters and compilers for both language and VM backends.
