And a decade or so ago it was LOLCODE that had me mildly concerned for the wellbeing of my peers.

    My 21 year old is pretty into rust and html. Does that count?

    I'm pretty ignorant on most of it. In my youth, I just dabbled trying to lean basic on a c64 and AMOS on the Amiga though, so maybe not lol

    e: I think I missed the joke, probably because I'm old lol

    For some reason, this just sparked an ancient memory of the Geek Code, which was a sort of signature block you could append to your emails and online bios to show off how much of a geek you were in the geekiest fashion possible.

    Goddamn I'm old.

    Remember it spawning a bunch of copycats? For a while every community had their own code block. I wrote one for a usenet group i was in at the time.

    alt.sysadmin and alt.sysadmin.recovery both had em iirc...
