## What it is
pua-lang is a satirical dialect of the Monkey programming language implemented in Rust, with keywords renamed to Alibaba corporate jargon ('Aba-aba'). It is a fork of rs-monkey-lang and includes a REPL and a WebAssembly playground.

## Use cases
- run a joke programming language with Chinese corporate buzzword keywords
- learn how interpreters work by reading a Rust implementation of Monkey
- try an esoteric language in the browser via a wasm playground
- experiment with a REPL for a C-like toy language
- write fibonacci and other toy programs with satirical keywords

## When to choose
- you want a humorous esoteric language based on Monkey
- you are studying interpreter implementation in Rust
- you want a wasm-playable toy language in the browser

## When to avoid
- you need a production-ready programming language
- you need serious tooling, package ecosystem, or long-term support
- you need reliable I/O in wasm environments

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: maintenance
- function: interpreter, programming-language
- domain: programming-languages, compilers, developer-tools
- platform: rust, wasm, cli, browser
- tags: esoteric-language, monkey-language, joke-language, chinese, satire, repl, programming-language
