Brainrot is a meme-inspired programming language that translates common programming keywords into internet slang and meme references. It's built using Flex (lexical analyzer) and Bison (parser generator), making it a fun way to learn about language processing and compiler design.
Brainrot is a C-like programming language where traditional keywords are replaced with popular internet slang. For example:
void
→skibidi
int
→rizz
for
→flex
return
→bussin
To build and run the Brainrot compiler, you'll need:
- GCC (GNU Compiler Collection)
- Flex (Fast Lexical Analyzer)
- Bison (Parser Generator)
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gcc flex bison libfl-dev
sudo pacman -S gcc flex bison
brew install gcc flex bison
Some macOS users are experiencing an error related to libfl
. First, check if libfl
is installed at:
/opt/homebrew/lib/libfl.dylib # For Apple Silicon
/usr/local/lib/libfl.dylib # For Intel Macs
And if not, you have to find it and symlink to it. Find it using:
find /opt/homebrew -name "libfl.*" # For Apple Silicon
find /usr/local -name "libfl.*" # For Intel Macs
And link it with:
sudo ln -s /path/to/libfl.dylib /opt/homebrew/lib/libfl.dylib # For Apple Silicon
sudo ln -s /path/to/libfl.dylib /usr/local/lib/libfl.dylib # For Intel Macs
- Clone this repository:
git clone https://github.com/araujo88/brainrot.git
cd brainrot
- Generate the parser and lexer:
bison -d -Wcounterexamples lang.y -o lang.tab.c
flex -o lang.lex.c lang.l
- Compile the compiler:
gcc -o brainrot lang.tab.c lex.yy.c ast.c -lfl
Alternatively, simply run:
make
- Create a Brainrot source file (e.g.,
hello.brainrot
):
skibidi main {
yapping("Hello, World!");
bussin 0;
}
- Run your Brainrot program:
./brainrot < hello.brainrot

The language supports basic arithmetic operators:
+
Addition-
Subtraction*
Multiplication/
Division=
Assignment<
Less than>
Greater than&&
Logical AND||
Logical OR
Current limitations include:
- No support for increment/decrement operators (++/--)
- Limited support for complex expressions
- No support for functions other than main
- Basic error reporting
Brainrot has a Visual Studio Code extension to enhance your development experience with syntax highlighting and support for the Brainrot programming language. You can find it here:
