Looking at the picture at the head of this article
<https://www.zdnet.com/article/the-rise-and-fall-in-programming-languages-popularity-since-2016-and-what-it-tells-us/>,
I couldn’t recognize what language was used for that code.

Does anybody know what language it might be? Of course, it could be a
fake.

The one with 'if ("true")' and the mix of // and # comments? It looks
made-up.

if ("true") makes a lot of sense in our times of alternative facts and
moral relativism... (:-))

<OT>

In fuzzy logic proper ("fuzzy logic" refers neither to fuzzy nor to
logic (:-)) you could have (so-called linguistic variable):

if almost true then
s1;
else
s2;
end if;

and follow both paths with different levels of confidence. A potentially
interesting language which could be efficiently implemented on modern
multicores. The process of splitting paths is called "fuzzification."
When you must bring them back to a single choice using some method like
selecting the path with the highest confidence level, that is called
"defuzzification."

Yeah, I’m tending to agree. Something from an AI given a
(deliberately?) confusing prompt about a program to write, perhaps? ;)
