Is he removing the 'Like, Python' keywords from the source and then passing it to the Python interpreter?

Yes, it just does that.

Whoever downvoted you is retarded. Yours is a completely legitimate question to which I cannot give a certain answer, but I'd say it seems likely.

I expected an article on the limits of python syntax, but this is the description of some lolcode-style language.

O HAI. Any language that has the word "broseph" as a keyword is okay by me.

Strictly speaking, for Python to actually be a subset, it needs to recognise when a keyword is meaningful. Like:

    hey = "hello world"
    print hey
Can it do this? My assumption is not, because you'd get issues like

    so anyway just = "hello world"
but you could make an exception for when there's only one of them.

needs to be smart enough so you can write:

  print "hello world" or whatever
or

  n = 3 'n shit

also missing a fo' shizzle conditional and possibly loop construct.

I'm wondering what happens when you mix various types... eg mixing a "fo' shizzle" with a "broheim" - would it return an error similar to trying to add a string to a int?

This is just http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valspeak sugar. I guess I'll stick with Scratch and Logo for my kid.

Re:Tired of Old Man Python telling you what you can and can'... by IgorPartola on Wednesday February 24, 2010 @01:55PM (#1148733) 

		THE LESSER-KNOWN PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES #14 -- VALGOL

		VALGOL is enjoying a dramatic surge of popularity across the
	industry.  VALGOL commands include REALLY, LIKE, WELL, and Y*KNOW.
	Variables are assigned with the =LIKE and =TOTALLY operators.  Other
	operators include the "California booleans", AX and NOWAY.  Loops are
	accomplished with the FOR SURE construct.  A simple example:

		LIKE, Y*KNOW(I MEAN)START
		IF PIZZA	=LIKE BITCHEN AND
		GUY		=LIKE TUBULAR AND
		VALLEY GIRL	=LIKE GRODY**MAX(FERSURE)**2
		THEN
			FOR I =LIKE 1 TO OH*MAYBE 100
				DO*WAH - (DITTY**2); BARF(I)=TOTALLY GROSS(OUT)
			SURE
		LIKE, BAG THIS PROGRAM; REALLY; LIKE TOTALLY(Y*KNOW); IM*SURE
		GOTO THE MALL

		VALGOL is also characterized by its unfriendly error messages.  For
	example, when the user makes a syntax error, the interpreter displays the
	message GAG ME WITH A SPOON!  A successful compile may be termed MAXIMALLY
	AWESOME!
