Introducing Rockstar

Rockstar is a computer programming language designed for creating programs that are also hair metal power ballads.

Here’s Fizzbuzz in Rockstar.

Midnight takes your heart and your soul
While your heart is as high as your soul
Put your heart without your soul into your heart

Give back your heart


Desire is a lovestruck ladykiller
My world is nothing 
Fire is ice
Hate is water
Until my world is Desire,
Build my world up
If Midnight taking my world, Fire is nothing and Midnight taking my world, Hate is nothing
Shout "FizzBuzz!"
Take it to the top

If Midnight taking my world, Fire is nothing
Shout "Fizz!"
Take it to the top

If Midnight taking my world, Hate is nothing
Say "Buzz!"
Take it to the top

Whisper my world

Inspired by this tweet from Paul Stovell, the Rockstar language was created by Dylan Beattie. There are multiple open source implementations, and Rockstar has been widely covered on the web, including articles on BoingBoing and in Classic Rock magazine.
