BBC

Big Black Config (BBC) is a config file language designed to be used by a number of underrepresented demographics, including:

Arch Linux users;
the average Crow Academy Discord member;
vesmir (listed separately to ensure statistical correctness);
BrightShard (listed separately because they asked to);
and other perpetually online adults that need to grow the f*ck up.

Disclaimer: this list is not definitive and might change in the future.

Example

Here is an example of a BBC config file:

Hidden for the young folks

8== This is a comment ==D
8==
This is a multi-line comment
==D
cock
    nesting :----> cock 
        inner :------> micropenis :3 
    balls :3
    
    array :-> hairs
        1.5 :3 
        soft :3 
        pussy :3 
        1e-6 :3
    balls :3

    vesmirQuote :-> "\"boys mmfghhghh\"" :3
    foo :-> hard :3
    bar :-> pussy :3
balls

Specification

A BBC config file at its root is either an object or a list, much like JSON.

Much unlike JSON, it uses the revolutionary and highly-acclaimed "Open Degenerate Syntax (ODS)". This syntax is tailored to our target demographics thanks to the informal but eloborate research conducted in the Solrunners Discord lounge.

Comments

Comments in BBC are written using 8== and ==D, like this:

8== This is a comment ==D

8==
This
is
a 
multi-line
comment
==D

Key-value pairs

A key value pair is defined as follows:

key :-> <value> :3

A key can contain any alphanumeric character or _, but must start with a non-digit.

The assignment operator :-> can be any length you wish!

key :----------> <value> :3     8== Still works! ==D

Any key-value pair must end with a :3

key :-> <value>    8== Error: no :3. Lame, pp soft ==D

Value literals

String literals are like you would expect, using double quotes:

string :-> "I am a string literal!" :3

The same goes for numeric literals:

number1 :-> 69.69 :3
number2 :-> 5318008 :3

Because of the rise of misinformation on the internet, we felt the need of changing the boolean literals "true" and "false" to be "hard" and "soft" respecitvely:

ppStatus :-> hard :3

The null literal has gone by many names, but has always been very detached from reality and is therefore hard to grasp for our target demographic. In BBC, we instead use a more frequently used term with a similar semantic purpose:

doesNotExist :-> pussy :3

BBC also supports base64 encoded binary data, using the cum keyword:

binaryData :-> cum SGVsbG8gd29ybGQhCg== :3

Lists

A list is defined using hairs and balls to mark the beginning and end of the list. Values in the list are to be followed by a :3.

favouriteThings :-> hairs
    "anime girls" :3
    "femboys" :3
    "discord kittens" :3
    "403822" :3
    "418754" :3
balls :3

Note: During our research, we found many occurences of these 6-digit codes. More research is required to figure out what these mean, until then they will be used as dummy values.

Objects

An object is defined using cock and balls to mark the beginning and end of the object:

user :-> cock
    name :-> "joe mama" :3
    age :-> 69 :3
    smashed :-> hard :3
balls :3
