## Historique du projet et usages

The Homebrew `lolcode` formula packages `lci`, Justin Meza's C interpreter for LOLCODE. LOLCODE itself is an esoteric programming language presented on lolcode.org, and `lci` became the practical Unix-style command-line interpreter linked from that official site.

### Historique du projet

The LOLCODE specification archive records version 1.2 as a final draft dated 12 July 2007 and version 1.3 as a later draft that advances the 1.2 specification with proposals from the original forum and site. The official lolcode.org page links the language specification and the `lci` interpreter together, making the interpreter the project-facing implementation for users who want to run LOLCODE programs.

`lci` was created and maintained by Justin J. Meza and its README describes it as a C interpreter designed to be correct, portable, fast, and precisely documented. The repository was created on GitHub in 2010, carries GPL-3.0-or-later licensing in the README, and keeps the main branch aligned with the LOLCODE 1.3 language specification while directing newer experimental language work to a `future` branch.

### Historique d'adoption

For package-manager users, `lci` matters because it gives LOLCODE a small, buildable command-line implementation rather than leaving the language as only a meme-era specification. The input metadata records packages in Homebrew and Nix, while GitHub repository metadata shows a long-lived public repository with hundreds of stars and forks.

### Modes d'utilisation

The official lolcode.org example installs by cloning `justinmeza/lci`, running CMake, and building with `make`. The README documents Linux, macOS, and Windows builds, optional generated documentation, and `ctest` for the bundled conformance tests.

Users run LOLCODE source through the `lci` executable. The official language examples use the familiar `HAI`, `CAN HAS STDIO?`, `VISIBLE`, and `KTHXBYE` form, while the 1.2 and 1.3 specs define syntax, comments, file structure, variables, and related language behavior.

### Pourquoi les passionnés de paquets s'y intéressent

`lolcode` is a classic package-manager curiosity: a real CLI interpreter for a joke language that still has a spec, tests, releases, and source builds. It is useful in package catalogs because it exercises build systems, esolang culture, and the boundary between novelty languages and maintained command-line tools.

### Chronologie

- 2007: LOLCODE 1.2 final draft dated 12 July 2007.
- 2010: `justinmeza/lci` repository created on GitHub.
- 2014: `lolcode-spec` archive repository created on GitHub.
- 2026: `lci` repository metadata shows continued activity.

### Related projects

- `lolcode-spec` archives the LOLCODE language specifications.
- `httpd.lol` is linked from the `lci` README as an example of newer language features on the `future` branch.
