That reminds me of LSE, a French BASIC-like programming language.

Fantastique !

Let's create "Piaf" to see la vie en rose, the French à la https://codewithrockstar.com/.

This is fun. My son is learning esperanto, is there a version for that, maybe a weekend projekto for him.

It's interesting how coding in your own language can make the logic feel completely different.

hahaha j'adore que le mot québécois "calisse" est inclus

Be sure to look at the "other languages" section; and then wonder whether all of it was generated by AI.

I can tell you that github.com/jeroenhd/roest was all done manually.

If I'd used AI, I probably would've included grammatical gender for nouns.

The Russian version seems to be handcrafted with humor
OccamsMirror 10/31/2025||
It definitely was.

I don‘t think so. At least the french one is quite old and was discussed here before AI was in wide use: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28490935

I remember that many of the other languages popped up a little later.

I doubt it. Rouille uses a very simple "word to other word" map that anyone with an hour of free time can fill out for their own language.

The implementation is also rather inefficient, but it's not like such a translated macro will be used for anything serious.

Not surprised this sort of thing pops up specifically for french. France is known to not speak English in some situations even though they know English.

Whenever I try speaking French to them they stare at me in horror and immediately switch to English.

I’ve had the same experience.

It’s just as well because when native speakers reply, I can’t understand them. The words are too smeared together for me.

OTOH, when a non-native French speaker (who may not know English) speaks fluently in French, I can actually hear each word and understand them easily.

Just wait until the Quebecois government here in Canada hears about this. They are militant about avoiding english at all costs. They changed all the STOP signs in Quebec to ARRET because STOP was too english.

What's wrong with that? You want more Anglomania?
lagniappe 10/31/2025||
C'est dégoûtant.
