This questionThis question claims to implement the Nothing language.

I'm citing the language specification (emphasis mine):

Note: if the output does not meet the expectation of a "hello world"-program, this does not necessarily mean the Nothing program has a bug. The programmer primarily is supposed to contemplate on his expectations, and has to accept that a Nothing program always is bug free.

And:

A Quine is very easy to implement. As a matter of fact, each Nothing program is a Quine by itself. Also all Nothing programs have a palindromic nature.

In my opinion, this language is even more of a joke than . It's more of a philosophical thing than it is writing code. If all programs are considered bug-free, logic goes right out the window.

Are questions revolving around the Nothing language on-topic?
