The politest language ever.  You literally have to beg the language to 
do stuff for u.  This is great!

D definitely needs this statement: http://lolcode.com/keywords/diaf

Why 'was'?
Everybody here seems really excited about this language (me including).
I think you should use it for exactly what you are purposing.
btw. D could easily implement most of the suggestions made on the site.

Apart from the 1337 speak some of the ideas are ok.  If you take it from 
the point of view that its a community driven joke, then its been well 
designed for that purpose.

I imagine it wouldn't be that hard to use mixins to implement this 
language in D.  I also imagine the community would be over the moon 
because its current implementations suck.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL AWESOME. :D
A friend of mine had mentioned this already, and I too was about to post 
it here in the NG, despite flagrantly OT.
More seriously though, like anderson mentioned, it would be really cool 
(and maybe some good D publicity too) to implement a D lolcode compiler 
with mixin text macros. Anyone up to the challenge? (I don't have time 
for that unfortunately :S)

One problem with compiling the Lolcode into D code is that Lolcode seems to 
be dynamically typed.  We'd have to implement a variadic type, and things 
get even trickier if Lolcode functions, when a syntax is decided for them, 
are first-class and with variable numbers of parameters.

On the other hand, we already have the MiniD VM at our disposal, a 
dynamically-typed language VM with first-class functions with variable 
numbers of parameters ;)  The only thing that would have to be changed would 
be the lexer and parser; virtually all the Lolcode constructs have analogues 
in MiniD code, and can be represented by a MiniD AST.  This is all done at 
runtime, though.

If we still want to use compile-time constructs for compiling the Lolcode 
source, it might be better to compile to MiniD source, and then compile that 
at run-time.  Targeting the MiniD bytecode directly using compile-time code 
would probably be pretty awful :S

Wasn't the chat console on Counterstrike programmed in this?
