Great Strategy

As Assaf is saying, finally, a programming language with street cred
: Eubonicode.
Obviously, a programming language built to mimic Ebonics. I didn’t know that Eubonics was a synonym for Ebonics, but since the wikipedia page for Eubonics redirects to Ebonics, that may be the case. But even Google thinks its ebonics.
We can all agree on implementation—that’s the point, after all—but to refuse to bless a format seems to me to ignore the lesson of the Web, written in letters of fire 500 feet high: agree on the smallest-possible number of data formats, and compete on what you do with them.
