The damer language

Some people at my work are obsessed by damer and tend to use the phrase constantly. After observing this phenomenon for around a year, we discussed on the balcony that someone should make a damer programming language that only contained the keyword damer.

As always I couldn't let the challenge go and decided to violate the Whitespace programming language and its tools and turn it into Damer:

Damer interpreter made in Perl: http://home.polarboing.com/nicomen/download/damer.perl

The typical Hello, World program written in damer: http://home.polarboing.com/nicomen/download/hello.dmr

$ ./damer.perl hello.dmr
Hello, damer!

There is also a Damer entry in Wikipedia

(Btw. damer means chicks or ladies in norwegian)
