ArnoldC is an esoteric programming language created by Lauri Hartikka in 2014, whose syntax is built entirely from catchphrases spoken by the actor Arnold Schwarzenegger in his film roles, so that a program begins, for example, with the phrase IT'S SHOWTIME and declares a variable with I NEED YOUR CLOTHES YOUR BOOTS AND YOUR MOTORCYCLE. ArnoldC compiles to Java bytecode and is fully Turing-complete, its explicit purpose being comedic rather than practical, in the same esoteric-language tradition as the Shakespeare Programming Language and Ook!.
