[Off-topic]: What do poems look like in lines of code?
I'm trying to mix my passions; write and programming. That's why I'm trying to write poetry in lines of code. What other ways can I apply such poetic expressions to valid programming syntax? https://code.sololearn.com/wnnHSZ6is7HT/?ref=app https://code.sololearn.com/wJ2mgzt720Ao/?ref=app https://code.sololearn.com/wq6RAmgJZztw/?ref=app

Francisco Choca This is a great question and the first of its kind that I've personally come across.
First thing that comes to mind is our one and only Paul Caron (a.k.a. ChillPill) and the madness... er, um I meant genius... Yeah... the genius behind some of his creative codes:

Seriously... take a look at what and how he implemented these codes with some creative function overrides.
You might also want to research concepts like Fluent Interface and Method Chaining.
Chai.js is a great implementation using these concepts to form programmatic instructions using sentence structures.
See examples from their website:

Cucumber is a framework utilizing human readable Gherkin language that converts to actual programming commands.
Hopefully, these give you some ideas to consider.

Nice, I like it! I've been to a code poetry slam before, maybe you can find one in your area.
Do try to keep the Q&A-section topical though, self-promotion posts should go in your personal feed instead.

Maybe I am dumb but I don't see the purpose of code poetry.

No it's all good. It happens :)
