## What it is
YoptaScript is a joke programming language that transpiles to JavaScript, using Russian street slang ('gopnik' dialect) as its syntax. It runs in the browser or Node.js by including a script that converts YoptaScript code into plain JavaScript.

## Use cases
- write javascript code using russian slang keywords
- transpile yopta code to javascript
- have fun with a joke esoteric language
- teach programming in a humorous way
- convert javascript back to yoptascript

## When to choose
- you want a humorous esoteric language that compiles to JavaScript
- you want to prank friends or make a joke demo page
- you want to explore transpiler implementation in TypeScript

## When to avoid
- you need a serious production programming language
- you are offended by profanity
- you need long-term support or extensive tooling
