I love esoteric programming languages.

Meet Rockstar, my latest find.

The program below finds an area of a circle given a radius.

Your dreams were ice. A life unfulfilled; wakin' everybody up, taking booze and pills


How does it work?

The first line assigns a numerical value of pi (3.141592654) into a variable your_dreams. I’m not a poet, so this comes directly from the language documentation 😎 Look closer at how we get pi using a poetic number literal:

ice means 3 (three letters) . is . A is 1 life is 4 unfulfilled has 11 letters, so it’s 1 wakin' is 5 (' is ignored)

I hope you got it 😉

Listen to your spell reads the input into the your_spell variable (circle radius), and Cast your spell casts (surprise!) a string into a float.

Let your spell be of your spell squares the radius (multiplies it by itself) – of is the multiplication operator.

Finally, Put your spell of your dreams into your song multiplies the squared radius (your_spell) by pi (your_dreams), and the last line prints the result.

And here is the binary search in Rockstar:

My soul is cold love
Burn my soul
Split your heart into pieces with my soul
Listen to the destiny
Cast the destiny

The agony was I
The lovers were us
Let my dreams be pieces over the lovers
Turn up my dreams

Let the world be pieces without the agony

The nature was hipnotized
The fortune was everything

While the nature is as weak as the world,
Put the nature with the world into my dreams
Let my dreams be over the lovers
Turn up my dreams
Let the end be pieces at my dreams
If the end is the destiny,
Shout my dreams
Knock the fortune down
Break it down

If the end is smaller than the destiny,
Let the nature be my dreams with the agony
Else,
Knock the world down

Knock the agony down
If the fortune is the agony,
Knock the fortune down
Whisper the fortune


I’ll let you figure it out 🤘
