Keith Thompson A comment from the author:

There's a slight error in the source code. The program shown here consists of a single empty line, but the original program is an empty file.

Both versions are valid programs, though. See the web site for details.

a3k if the program consisted of a one line comment, there would be no syntax error.

>>  Keith Thompson said on 07/23/05 02:29:10

Keith Thompson Yes, that's true; the syntax allows for any number of blank lines and/or comments. But the original version of the program that I *wanted* to post was a completely empty file.

It's not a big deal; as I said, the posted version is equally valid. (Perhaps my use of the word "error" in my previous comment was overstated.)

Nate Wow, this might be the most useful and powerful programming language I've seen yet :)

Keith Thompson <i>Sorry, but thats corny</i>

Yeah, that's more or less the point.

jeko I think it's not >>corny<<. I agree, it's not very serious, but it's clever, ain't it?

nick well that's simply dumb

Keith Thompson > Where can I download a compiler for that language?

You can download an interpreter from the language web page (see "Info:" above).

I haven't written a compiler for it, but I might consider doing so. What target language would you like? (It would be simplest to use 99 itself as the target language.)

Too easy...
How about a bootstrap 99-0?

Michael I have written a not-quite-compliant 99 compiler in cat. It's noncompliant because it seemed necessary to have the compiler print some important system information at the top of the song.

barrym The info link is no longer valid.
Does anyone have info from a different source?

arcanis If the author write someday a compiler, I hope it will be able to compile itself !

HughesJohn22 When you are in uncomfortable position and have no cash to go out from that, you would need to receive the <a href="http://bestfinance-blog.com/topics/credit-loans">credit loans</a>. Because that will help you for sure. I get credit loan every year and feel great because of this.
