iusearchbtw
Welcome, internet traveler!
You’ve just stumbled upon iusearchbtw, the programming language that refuses to be normal. Forget print()
or console.log()
β here, the only command that matters is:
i use arch btw
How it works
- Take a parenthesis:
( ... )
- Fill it with
i use arch btw
repeated N times. - N determines the character that comes out. Uppercase, lowercase, symbols, even space β all fair game.
Yep. Thatβs it. Thatβs the language.
