## What it is
ArnoldC is an esoteric programming language whose keywords are Arnold Schwarzenegger movie one-liners, implemented in Scala. It ships as a JVM jar that compiles .arnoldc files to Java bytecode, with an optional -declaim mode that audibly speaks the keywords.

## Use cases
- write hello world in an Arnold Schwarzenegger themed language
- compile an esoteric language to Java bytecode
- teach compiler basics with a fun toy language
- entertain friends with a joke programming language
- explore how a small compiler is built in Scala

## When to choose
- you want a humorous esoteric language that compiles to runnable JVM bytecode
- you are looking for a fun demo or teaching example for compilers
- you want audible program output via the declaim feature

## When to avoid
- you need a practical language for real software projects
- you need performance, rich libraries, or tooling support
- you want a language with an active community and ongoing development

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: maintenance
- function: programming-language, compiler, interpreter, parser
- domain: programming-languages, compilers, developer-tools, entertainment
- platform: jvm, cross-platform, cli
- tags: esoteric-language, arnold-schwarzenegger, scala, novelty, jvm-based
