    Very high quality shitposting. Approved.

    This is interesting, but I wouldn't say it is valid C. main() doesn't know about greet(auto s) and wouldn't be able to call it in valid C89, right?

      It's valid K&R since everything defaults to int. The linker will match the symbols sans prototype. That wasn't obsoleted until C23.

        TIL, thank you! (How embarrassing haha)

      It is valid C89. greet is automatically declared as

          int greet();
      at call site.

    Given that CScript is the name of the "Console Based Script Host" for Windows, that can run JScript (Microsoft's old variant of JavaScript) and VBScript, and supposedly other pluggable scripting languages (I've never seen one in the wild), calling this "Cscript" is not a good idea.

      It's a joke language, I doubt it will cause any significant ambiguity ever.

    At this point I came dangerously close to spewing water all over my keyboard. :D

    It looks like the B programming language.

    To compile CScript to C:

    apt install gcc-dev

    cat hello.cs > hello.c

    gcc hello.c

      Nope… you need to follow the instructions:

        gcc -std=gnu89 -m32 -fno-builtin
      because GCC defaults to ISO C23 these days, and that will not work, and neither will anything where int and a pointer aren't the same size :)
