iusearchbtw 😎

Welcome, internet traveler! 🌐

You’ve just stumbled upon iusearchbtw, the programming language that refuses to be normal. Forget print() or console.log() – here, the only command that matters is:

i use arch btw

How it works 🎩

  1. Take a parenthesis: ( ... )
  2. Fill it with i use arch btw repeated N times.
  3. N determines the character that comes out. Uppercase, lowercase, symbols, even space – all fair game.

Yep. That’s it. That’s the language.
