AI Thread Summary
TrumpScript is a unique programming language designed to reflect the persona and rhetoric of Donald Trump. It features only integers greater than one million, prohibits import statements to ensure all code is "American made," and uses "fact" and "lie" instead of traditional boolean values. Variable names are limited to popular English words, Trump's favorite terms, and names of current politicians. Error messages are derived from Trump's quotes, adding a humorous touch. The language has sparked discussions about its potential and comparisons with other programming languages like ArnoldC, emphasizing its playful nature and satirical commentary on Trump's influence. Additionally, there are references to a chatbot that mimics Trump, further blurring the lines between human and machine communication. Overall, TrumpScript serves as both a programming tool and a cultural commentary.

Some Features
  • No floating point numbers, only integers. America never does anything halfway.
  • All numbers must be strictly greater than 1 million. The small stuff is inconsequential to us.
  • There are no import statements allowed. All code has to be home-grown and American made.
  • Instead of True and False, we have fact and lie.
  • Only the most popular English words, Trump’s favorite words, and current politician names can be used as variable names.
  • Error messages are mostly quotes directly taken from Trump himself.

I can't believe he came so far. My best argument has been: Even me with my poor English, without much practice, I could right away hold a Trump speech. No problem. At most I needed a couple of minutes to grab some pseudo-facts from the internet to pretend knowledge.
Seemingly this isn't argument against him.
 
It even has a GitHub page! :oldlaugh:
 
This is going to be HUGE!

I thought of writing a simple "Hello World" program but was afraid I'd get the response:

You're FIRED!

The TS program says: You're FIRED!

and the AS program responds: You're terminated

and so Arnold wins the presidency on the rebirther ticket.

It builds a firewall around your computer and won't let you in?

Breaking news! The Turing test has been passed. We now officially have something that we cannot know is a human or a machine. We call it "Donald Trump". You can talk to him here: http://fusion.net/story/244366/donald-trump-markov-chain-bot/

Huh. Just random Trump quotations. Nor ready for prime time, if you ask me.

Plus it tries to collect money from your bank account for doing so.

That's the point, though. It's indistinguishable from the real thing so it passes the Turing test.
