or having your variable names in _๐•ฑ๐–—๐–†๐–๐–™๐–š๐–— which might be more appearent but none the less annoying. That'd make a nice useless language though.

I've always found that attempts at germanization of subjects where English is the lingua franca are incredibly amusing. Further germanization of German words, such as the conversion of "Nase" to "๐•ฒ๐–Š๐–˜๐–Ž๐–ˆ๐–๐–™๐–˜๐–Ÿ๐–Ž๐–“๐–๐–Š๐–“" also is at least worth a chuckle despite the solemn background that spawned the movement.

Which is bullshit and just a parody on linguistic purism.

Literally it means: Greeting-Display-Control-Mechanism. In German you can jumble the words together to get a new, more precise German word. The most notorious being this: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/germany/100...

I remember my German teacher struggling to get the class to remember Schwarzwรคlder Kirschtorte (admittedly two words). So she taught us Vierwaldstรคtterseedampfschiffgesellschaftskapitรคnsmรผtzensternlein instead. After that Schwarzwรคlder Kirschtorte was easy.


Mother of god...


That would be Gottesmutter or (way better) Gottesgebรคrerin (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gottesgeb%C3%A4rerin)


More like this is totally freaking Awesome...!


German for: Spend the best hours of the day on an orange website.


basically showWelcome()


This is now my favorite code snippet. I didn't have one before. Love "Begrรผssungsanzeigebedienmechanismus" and the hopelessly verbose way it was implemented.


I just remembered the snippet forgot "Sehr geehrte Herr oder Frau". Oh no! -1 bureaucracy point.


OH NEIN! MEIN LEBEN! :(


Too bad the source code of that beautiful toy is nowhere to be found - I'd gladly provide a patch that teaches it about the umlauts which it unfortunately left alone in your piece of art you created here <3


It's trivial to dump the tables at least. Just enter all printable ascii characters :). The umlauts would be by first fully decomposing the string down to letters+combining characters, right?

Right :). Though it's not quite centred for me.


I have a tool to make this text, though I'll admit I never even thought about decomposing inputs like รผ and then recomposing them after Fraktur-izing.

Sad thing is, Unicode still doesn't seem to properly support titlos and (not so sad, since personally I think Unicode shouldn't really do anything with fonts unless absolutely necessary) has no separate characters for Ustav and Poluustav scripts.
