FireStarter

This is still a work in progress. It may be changed in the future.

FireStarter is a language idea created by User:DoggyDogWhirl.

The idea

The idea is to create a programming language whose syntax requires syllables to be in a rhythm similar to Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start the Fire". After a certain amount of lines, a copy of the main verse would be required. Thus, the code could be sung to the tune of the song. (rhyming not required, but encouraged)

The language itself could manage variables, stacks, a tape, anything. The main idea is the syllable structure.

The main problem is that the syllable structure in the song itself is not as consistent as expected (for copyright reasons, only the structure itself is shown here, not the song's actual lyrics):
