All of the keywords/statements are came from Rick Astley's lyrics. I believe that rick roll is not only a way to promote people's communication, it is also one of the most paramount art in the human history. The purpose of the Rickroll Language is to introduce this art to people in a distinctive way - programming.
Examples:
take me to ur heart
give msg up "Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down~\n"
i just wanna tell u how im feeling msg
say goodbye
Python-equivalent:
if __name__ == '__main__':
msg = "Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down~\n"
print(msg, end='')
C++-equivalent:
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
int main(int argc, char* argv[]){
string msg = "Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down~\n";
cout<<msg;
}
.rickroll files transpile to Python or C++.
