Rockstar is an esoteric programming language whose syntax is inspired by 1980s hard rock and heavy metal lyrics, together with its official implementation. The repo contains the Starship interpreter (C#/.NET, also compiled to WASM for the web), a CodeMirror editor plugin, and the documentation website.
Use cases
- write programs that read like 80s rock lyrics
- run rockstar programs from the command line
- try an esoteric programming language in the browser
- learn programming basics with a fun joke language
- embed a rockstar interpreter in a web page via wasm
When to choose
- you want a fun, joke-driven esoteric language with real docs and working interpreters
- you need a cross-platform interpreter with native binaries for Linux, macOS, and Windows
- you want to run the language in-browser via WebAssembly
When to avoid
- you need a production language for real software projects
- you want a large ecosystem of libraries, tooling, and community packages
- you need high performance or serious numerical computing
