Fetlang

Fetlang is a statically typed, procedural, esoteric programming language and reference implementation. It is designed such that source code looks like poorly written fetish erotica.

Fetlang is not recommended for production use at this moment, especially in medical or military applications.

Example

The following example outputs the arguments given to the executable:

Make Sean moan
Worship Carrie's feet

Bind Amy to Saint Andrew's Cross
    Have Amy hogtie Sean
    If Amy is Carrie's bitch
        Make Slave scream Sean's name
        Make Sean moan

Features

Statically typed
Gendered variables
Access previously mentioned variables using pronouns
Numbers represented internally as fractions instead of floating point
Transpiles to C
Confusing English-like syntax and unhelpful error messages
Turing complete (See here for a Rule 110 implementation by Kjeld Schmidt)
Has a Vim plugin (thanks to Kutsan Kaplan)
Can be extended with C, C++, or Rust
