Suravi, even comes with batteries included. 
I'm not sure how many cookies it makes to be happy, but so far it's not 27.

Do you think I stand a chance? Or should I consider taking being programmable as my PhD dissertation?

If I were you, I'd wait until I became a professor:
- Invent a new language (or modify an existing one)
- call it after yourself
- Have your minions (aka the graduate students) write the VM for it
- Profit!

Or after your girlfriend.
This "Mary" language developed around 1980 at my university was named after the chief designer's girlfriend. "Hello world" was not yet an established meme then, so the equivalent program wrote to the console, "Mary has been executed"

A Bloody Mary, indeed

you just reminded me of my professor who used to say he has lots of lab rats to do his work.

I would say that the value of 'programming language' hit a really low point...

You should be added to the code block formatters :D

My language does not allow braces around single line if statements.

So, you've to pass through a compiler, and get converted to an executable.
Or is it an interpreter you'll have to pass through?

I dunno... I barely pass as a software engineer.

I expect to see code there. Instead there's this animated countdown stealing my eyes away from the rest of the page.
And the people in the ad are all looking at me funny.
