    GitHub[^]:

    We aim to build a programming language that looks like HTML

    This is what happens when the kids grow up with angle brackets

    I know, it's very early in the project, and they'll probably hit many walls and give up. But I stand by my intended mockery. (I also remember seeing an 'XML as a programming language' project back around 2000). Fortunately, that went no where as well.

      Most programming languages feature booleans. A boolean is a variable that can only have 2 values. In most languages these 2 values are called true and false. But in HTML we call these 2 values cake and lie.

            It really makes no sense at all, as any Portal fan knows, the Cake is a Lie, so they their Boolean "logic" is based on two truth values of False and False.

              But if the Cake is a Lie and Cake is true and Lie is false that means true == false and false == true, so both the Cake and the Lie are true and false at the same time. This is the language for quantum computers!
