AmitabhC

The Bollywood Programming Language

"Rishtey mein toh hum tumhare compiler lagte hain!"

AmitabhC is an esoteric programming language where every keyword is an Amitabh Bachchan film, character, or dialogue. Variables are VIJAY. Constants are DON. Errors are iconic dialogues. This isn't just a language — it's a statement.
