docker run --rm --platform="linux/amd64" 100hellos/tswizzle:latest
TSwizzle is a Taylor Swift lyrics-inspired esoteric programming language created by abhilipsasahoo03. This implementation uses the upstream TSwizzle interpreter to bring the lyrical programming paradigm to 100hellos.
About TSwizzle
TSwizzle transforms Taylor Swift's iconic lyrics into programming syntax, creating a unique celebrity-themed esoteric language. Much like ArnoldC uses Arnold Schwarzenegger movie quotes, TSwizzle uses Taylor's song lyrics to express programming concepts.

Hello World Program
Our implementation showcases multiple TSwizzle keywords:
COUNTER ALL YOUR QUICK REMARKS ~> This is a Taylor Swift themed Hello World program
COUNTER ALL YOUR QUICK REMARKS ~> Using as many TSwizzle keywords as possible!
COUNTER ALL YOUR QUICK REMARKS ~> Initialize our greeting variable
greeting = "Hello World!"
COUNTER ALL YOUR QUICK REMARKS ~> Check if we should display the greeting
should_greet = 1
COUNTER ALL YOUR QUICK REMARKS ~> Conditional logic using Taylor Swift lyrics
IF YOU'VE GOT A should_greet == 1 I'M JEALOUS OF AND I'LL SHOW YOU EVERY VERSION OF greeting TONIGHT
COUNTER ALL YOUR QUICK REMARKS ~> End of our Swift program
GOODBYE GOODBYE GOODBYECultural Significance
TSwizzle represents the intersection of pop culture and programming languages, similar to how:
- ArnoldC uses Schwarzenegger movie quotes
- Shakespeare uses Elizabethan English
- LOLCODE uses internet meme speak
This demonstrates how programming language design can be both functional and culturally expressive.
Interactive Mode
TSwizzle supports a REPL mode where you can:
- Enter your favorite Taylor Swift era
- Execute commands interactively
- Run
.tswizzlefiles with the command:I KNOW THE BRAVEST THING I EVER DID WAS RUN filename.tswizzle
