I RAGED ON CSHARP SO HARD I BROKE MY FUCKING PC is a deliberately useless, joke esoteric programming language inspired by the extreme-silliness of ranting at a compiler. It is intentionally 99.99% useless and trivial to implement — the whole point is comedic value rather than computational power. It is equivalent in spirit to trivial one- or two-instruction joke languages such as "Ook!" or some entry-level Brainfuck variants.

Core idea

Every command is a meaningless "rage" action. Most commands do nothing at all except for one command that emits output. Programs may contain any characters; only the letters below are treated as commands. This design makes programs look like angry rants while actually doing almost nothing.

Commands

Command Mnemonic Effect
C Compile (No effect)
S StackOverflow Move data pointer one cell to the right (wraps)
H Heap crash Move data pointer one cell to the left (wraps)
R RAGE Output a single "explosion" (see below)

All other characters are ignored (treated as comments/decoration).

Memory model

  • Fixed-size array of 10 8-bit cells (initialized to 0). — chosen to be arbitrarily tiny for maximum uselessness.
  • A data pointer points at one of the cells.
  • There are no arithmetic instructions, no input, and no control flow.
  • Output (R) prints a single glyph or ASCII character (implementers may choose "💥" or `*` or ASCII 42).

Syntax

Programs are plain text. Only the uppercase letters C, S, H and R are meaningful; lowercase letters are ignored. Whitespace and punctuation are allowed anywhere and ignored.

Example programs

A program that emits two explosions with a pointer move between them:

CSR R

Explanation:

  • `C` — (nothing)
  • `S` — pointer → next cell
  • `R` — output 💥
  • (space ignored)
  • `R` — output 💥

A completely decorative "angry paragraph" that still outputs once:

I REALLY HATE C#!!! RAGE: R !!!

Reference interpreter

Below is a trivial reference interpreter (Python 3). Copy-paste and run; it deliberately matches the minimal, useless spec.

#!/usr/bin/env python3
# Reference interpreter for
# "I RAGED ON CSHARP SO HARD I BROKE MY FUCKING PC"
# (Totally useless, intentionally.)

def run(code, cellsize=10, cellbits=8, output_char="💥"):
    cells = [0]*cellsize
    ptr = 0
    for ch in code:
        if ch == 'C':
            pass
        elif ch == 'S':
            ptr = (ptr + 1) % cellsize
        elif ch == 'H':
            ptr = (ptr - 1) % cellsize
        elif ch == 'R':
            # output one explosion (no relation to cell contents)
            print(output_char, end='')
        # else: ignore everything else
    print()  # newline at end

if __name__ == "__main__":
    import sys
    if len(sys.argv) > 1:
        program = sys.argv[1]
    else:
        program = input("RAGE CODE> ")
    run(program)

Implementation notes

  • The language intentionally omits arithmetic and control flow to remain "useless".
  • Implementers are encouraged to be silly with output (emoji, ASCII art, short sentences).
  • For a tiny variation, the output instruction R could print the current cell's numeric value; however the canonical form prints a fixed explosion glyph and ignores cell contents.

Examples of use

  • Joke demonstrations on a wiki page.
  • Playground for showing how an interpreter is built, without worrying about Turing completeness.
  • Entry in the Joke language list.
