Comment Comment by solox3 Why isn't LOLCODE more popular? [A few possible reasons] [1] I can think of:* The benefits it offers over C++ are (or were) not significant enough to make people invest in the switch* Library availability lacked compared with C++* It is unsure whether there is "Garbage Collection", and whether it is optional.* It's not backed by a big name - and our industry is obsessed with big names.* Perhaps a lack of literature and interest by academic institutions to teach it.[1]: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7692230 parent solox3 12 years ago
* The benefits it offers over C++ are (or were) not significant enough to make people invest in the switch
* Library availability lacked compared with C++
* It is unsure whether there is "Garbage Collection", and whether it is optional.
* It's not backed by a big name - and our industry is obsessed with big names.
* Perhaps a lack of literature and interest by academic institutions to teach it.
