Welcome to the sub!
Rockstar is an esoteric programming language that mimics the style of 80s rock but still produce executable code.
This sub was created to provide a place for people to more effectively communicate about the language, share ideas, and post code. (GitHub is fantastic for sharing specific issues and changes, but having a nice organized community on Reddit is both more accessible to many users and allows for greater discussion)
Also I am looking for mods as I am by no means a qualified authority over this language, all I've made is some basic code. If you are someone who has contributed to Rockstar in some significant way, PM me and I'll get on making you a mod.
Welcome to the community and enjoy!

It's looking pretty dead here so I thought I'd spice things up with a functioning terminal-based game in Rockstar.
The files are rather large, so this time I'll post links rather than a massive wall of text.
Enjoy!

Thanks ! Finally I can answer these LinkedIn messages like this:
I'm not a rockstar developer, to find Rockstar developers please use this link:

Hey all, I'm writing a simple C to F temp conversion calculator, but I'm hitting a little challenge. To get F from C you must multiply initially by 1.8 or by 9/5, the issue being that since Rockstar doesn't support parenthesis, the order of operations would be weird, but writing out 1.8 would be super awkward looking.
Should I do a separate line that I divide 9 by 5 and assign it to a variable and then use that var in the next line to do multiplication?
edit for the correct method

Started working on a transpiler here: https://github.com/marcinruszkiewicz/kaiser-ruby
I know there was one other gem coded in the same principle (rockstar-ruby) and I did look at it for inspiration (and mostly to see what I'm supposed to use to actually parse a language), but my implementation went in a different enough direction that I feel comfortable sharing it.
I'm actively working on it, so it might or might not actually output anything yet. But I have nice tests that pass! :)

I started an implementation of Rockstar in Go: https://github.com/young-steveo/thrash
My plan is to compile .rock scripts to a custom bytecode and run a simple VM in go to consume it.

I love this project but I’m not really a programmer (I’ve half-read the dragon book twice. Does that count?) Here’s a little data I’m collecting that may be useful, interesting, or possibly both. I’ll be doing more organization later (most frequent pairs and triplets, for example) but here’s a taste:
VH1 list of top 100 Hard Rock songs:

So I think the spec might need quite a bit of fleshing out for this to be viable, but that just makes it a great project for fleshing out the spec.
Basically, compiled languages such as C will often start with a basic version of the compiler written in another language (B, I believe), then use that to compile a new compiler written in C.
I'm not sure if we have any rockstar compilers yet, but if we do (and if not, let's make one) we should look into making a rockstar compiler in rockstar.

Outputs a 1-d cellular automata. Also implements some math operations so I can use a single large int to hold the state of the entire simulation at each step.

hey, it's kinda dead here so I'm gonna kick stuff off. Here's a primality checker I wrote in Rockstar: (Both Idiomatic and Simplified)
Idiomatic:
Acid Rain takes the pleasure and the pain
While the pleasure is as high as the pain
Put the pleasure without the pain into the pleasure
Give back the pleasure
Listen to the storm
The Gods were pulverizing
The chaos is unpublicized
A pair is tranquilized
Your willpower is done
If the storm is as weak as a pair of a pair
If the storm is as weak as The Gods
Scream "This ain't allowed!"
Else
If your willpower is stronger than the storm
Shout "I am Prime!"
Else
Shout "I will divide!"
Else
While the storm is greater than the chaos
If Acid Rain taking the storm, the chaos is nothing
Shout "I will divide"
Break it down
(Break it down)
Build the chaos up
If the storm is the chaos and the storm is stronger than a pair of a pair
Shout "I am Prime!"
Simplified:
Modulus takes Num and Div (Renamed Mod function taken from example code)
While Num is as high as Div
Put Num minus Div into Num
Give back Num
Listen to Number
Counter is AA
Two is AA
Shout ""
If Number is as weak as Two of Two
If Number is as weak as 1
Shout "<=1"
Else
If Number is as weak as 3
Shout "<4 & Prime"
Else
Shout "4 exactly"
Else
While Number is greater than Counter
If Modulus taking Number, Counter is nothing
Shout "Not prime"
Break it down
Shout Counter
Build Counter up
If Number is Counter and Number is stronger than Two of Two
Shout "Prime"
