A bit late for April fools but in a discussion with some colleagues we've invented the programming language X!! where every line is closed with a double exclamation mark:

e.g.
Code: Select all
int32 val!!

for (val = 0 to 10)!!
  print "val =" + val!!
  if (i = 5)?!!
    print "Hang on, we're halfway"!!

With a little bit of nasal skills it should be fairly simple to write an Encabulator for FG. Anyone?

A comment under some YT video (discussing graphics cards)
I saved a ton on of money on a gpu purchase by turning off my computer and going outside.
The resolution is phenomenal,
the ray tracing is off the charts,
and my fps has gone infinite.
