Introducing PUA Language: A Satirical Corporate‑Jargon Programming Language

The piece introduces PUA Language, a playful programming language created by a Chinese developer that encodes typical corporate jargon—such as "赋能" (enable), "抓手" (handle), and "闭环" (closed loop)—into language constructs like let, fn, and while.

It demonstrates a recursive Fibonacci program written in this language, showing how familiar concepts are expressed with buzzword‑filled syntax, and asks readers whether they can understand the program at a glance.

A detailed table maps common programming tokens (e.g., if, else, true, false, return, Array) to their corporate‑style equivalents, providing both the Chinese term and an English explanation.

The article explains that PUA Language is built on top of a Rust implementation of the Monkey interpreter (the rs‑monkey‑lang project) and that the original Monkey language is used for learning interpreter design, as described in the book "Writing An Interpreter In Go".

It notes that the project is still early‑stage, has attracted over 1.7k GitHub stars, and invites readers to explore the source code, try the online interpreter, and consider contributing new features or polishing the language’s style and licensing.

Throughout, the author uses humor to comment on the alignment of technical and non‑technical teams, the pressure of KPI‑driven corporate culture, and the absurdity of translating code into "non‑human" language, culminating in a challenge for readers to decode a final code snippet that hints at the language’s core value proposition.
