- Keep top level comments as only solutions, if you want to say something other than a solution put it in a new post. (replies to comments can be whatever)
- You can send code in code blocks by using three backticks, the code, and then three backticks or use something such as https://topaz.github.io/paste/ if you prefer sending it through a URL

Zee
Zee is my Dutch dialect of C. Since Dutch has compound words, so does Zee: “const char **” becomes vasteletterverwijzingsverwijzing, not vaste letter verwijzing verwijzing, which would be incorrect. A pointer to a long long unsigned int is, obviously, a zeergrootnatuurlijkgetalverwijzing.
Code
And of course we don’t have a Makefile but a Maakbestand:
Yet more proof that the dutch are mad :D
Is it your own esolang, or is it commonly used by dutch speakers?
No it’s just me messing about with macros (but it does work!)
I do want to explore the type naming rules, see if I can write a parser for it. The C rules are funky by themselves but this is another level. “vaste letterverwijzing” is “char * const” but “vasteletterverwijzing” (without the space) is “const char *”. Then there’s grammatical gender: “vast getal” (const int) but “vaste letter” (const char)
