Show HN: Y2K – A 0-byte code golfing language using pre-2000 timestamps (opens in new tab)

Happy New Year HN. I thought it would be a fitting time to share a project I've been working on called Y2K. It's a code golfing language that can interpret file timestamps as code and ignore all file content, effectively allowing a set of 0-byte files to collectively form a solution to a problem. The repo has some small examples, including a simple "Hello World" program, printing the Fibonacci Sequence up to N terms, and Fizz Buzz. Most of the current examples only create 1-3 files when exported.

To make it easier to write programs, the interpreter allows writing all logic "raw" as file content, rather than requiring users to manually modify file timestamps one by one. These files can then be exported to a set of 0-byte files with their timestamps modified to achieve the same functionality.

It's still in a fairly early stage and has quite a few limitations, but I'm curious what people think at this point. It's been a fun project to work on and I'm excited to continue expanding on its functionality moving forward!
