Guess the language! (Robbers' Thread)

+3
−0

COPS THREAD

A famous cops-and-robbers challenge whose source shall remain unnamed is brought to Codidact.

You are a robber. Your goal is to find answers on this link which haven't been cracked and to crack them, aka reveal a language in which they work. If you have found such a language, reply to the cracked answer with it and (if possible) give an interpreter online to prove it works.

The robber who has cracked the most answers (tiebreak: most total bytes cracked) is the winning robber for the challenge.

Good luck, robbers!

Say the cops with the conjunction with the robbers

It can be one of:

The Shaggy‭'s intended solution turns out to be Rockstar (found by @Razetime‭).

Cracks Quintec‭'s answer: Canvas

My first clue was the echp; if the language used echo then why wouldn't it error on that? The second clue was that the last line contained the exact output we needed so I suspect that we're looking for a golfing language that ignores all but the last line of a programme and doesn't require strings to be quoted. Tried a few that I thought might have those capabilities and ended up with Canvas.

/bin/bash
> echo "Cops and Robbers"; #Testing, testing 1 2 3
Segmentation Fault
> echp "Cops and Robbers"; #Huh?
