Fetlang is a statically typed, procedural esoteric programming language whose source code is written to resemble poorly written fetish erotica. It transpiles to C and is implemented in C++ with a meson/ninja build system.

Use cases

  • write programs in an esoteric joke language
  • transpile a novelty language to C
  • explore compiler and transpiler implementation
  • extend an esolang with C, C++, or Rust
  • learn how a small statically typed language is built

When to choose

  • you want a fun esolang for entertainment or demos
  • you want a small real-world compiler codebase to study
  • you need a Turing-complete joke language that transpiles to C

When to avoid

  • any production or serious software project
  • medical, military, or professional environments
  • you need helpful error messages or conventional syntax
