Brilliant!

However: Ideally, someone would create a meta-language for defining the next ArnoldC/LolCat/Intercal/...Tabloid, assuming there will be a next, which I'm sure there is (nobody made a porn-based language yet, rule 33 or whatever number it was).

I used to have a program that'd take eight arbitrary tokens and output a programming language using those as its commands, just as a reskin of Brainfuck (such as Ook).

My copy is long gone, but it's an easy project if you want to make one for yourself.

Compiler-compilers (not just parsing) do exist although they seem to have practically died out a long time ago (much easier to do when all language worth spending money on were procedural and structural if you were lucky)
