Monicelli
Monicelli is an esoterical programming language based on the concept of "supercazzole" from the movie Amici Miei, a masterpiece of Italian comedy, directed by the Italian filmmaker and screenwriter Mario Monicelli, after whom the language is named. The language was created by Stefano Sanfilippo in 2014.
A supercazzola - also spelled "supercazzora" - is an Italian word describing a comically deceptive discourse composed mostly of gibberish and made-up words. However, according to Sanfilippo, this definition «sadly does not capture the true essence of what a "supercazzola" [...] is»[1]. Sanfilippo created the language as a way to explain the concept of supercazzola to the international public.
Example
Several examples of Monicelli programs are available in the examples[2] folder in the Monicelli repository.
Ciao, mondo! (Hello, world!)
This is a simple version of the Hello, world program, you can find a more complex one, which is closer to a true supercazzola in the Monicelli repository.[3]
# ciao-mondo.mc # # Author: Cristian Consonni <cristian@balist.es> # Released under MIT # # This program prints the string 'Ciao, mondo!\n' - which is Italian for # 'Hello, world!\n'. # # The program declares a `char` variable called `tarapiapiatapioco` and then # puts in the values need for each letter and prints them right away. # These are the char values: # # C i a o , · m o n d o ! \n # 67 105 97 111 44 32 109 111 110 100 111 33 10 Lei ha clacsonato voglio la tarapiatapioco, Mascetti tarapiatapioco come se fosse 67, tarapiatapioco a posterdati # C tarapiatapioco come se fosse 105, tarapiatapioco a posterdati # i tarapiatapioco come se fosse 97, tarapiatapioco a posterdati # a tarapiatapioco come se fosse 111, tarapiatapioco a posterdati # o tarapiatapioco come se fosse 44, tarapiatapioco a posterdati # , tarapiatapioco come se fosse 32, tarapiatapioco a posterdati # tarapiatapioco come se fosse 109, tarapiatapioco a posterdati # m tarapiatapioco come se fosse 111, tarapiatapioco a posterdati # o tarapiatapioco come se fosse 110, tarapiatapioco a posterdati # n tarapiatapioco come se fosse 100, tarapiatapioco a posterdati # d tarapiatapioco come se fosse 111, tarapiatapioco a posterdati # o tarapiatapioco come se fosse 33, tarapiatapioco a posterdati # ! tarapiatapioco come se fosse 10, tarapiatapioco a posterdati # \n vaffanzum!
which can be compiled with:
$ mcc -o ciao-mondo ciao-mondo.mc
this will produce an executable called, ciao-mondo, which when executed will print "Ciao, mondo!":
$ ./ciao-mondo Ciao, mondo!
