Rofl but what does it even compile down to? I could see a program that just concatenates and prints every string included in its source code

Fun fact: In a hilarious misuse of the #! script interpreter mechanism, on Linux (and similar operating systems), if you put #!/bin/cat as the first line of a file and make it executable, it'll dump itself to the current output channel when called by name.

Which is basically what you're describing.

See also: Perl, which will try to interpret almost anything as legitimate code if you don't tell it not to.

I'd go for /usr/bin/strings personally, then it'll allow binary junk too!

You don't even need the syntax with ChatGPT. It's getting scary out here, folks!

I think that in this language, pointers (remember those, kids?) should be actual pointing fingers.
