Describe the bug

According to the documentation, LOLWUT command should create a piece of generative computer art. This is unimplemented in version 7.

To reproduce

Issue LOLWUT command with Redis ver 7.x

Expected behavior

Beauty.

Additional information

There are functions lolwut5Command() and lolwut6Command() for previous versions. Yet for version 7 code fallbacks to lolwutUnstableCommand() which outputs textual version representation only. No ASCII Art.

I am affected. Please have a look ASAP.

OMG what a horrible bug... I guess redis 7.0 is completely useless until that bug is fixed.

Seriously though... we rather invest our time in useful features and improvements.

Comment From: zuiderkwast

I think LOLWUT is a fun thing that gives Redis character, though it's understandable that the maintainers can't invest time in it. @zdzichu if you (or someone else) would be willing to contribute a LOLWUT to Redis 8, then I hope there's a change it can be accepted. (Maybe even fix the bug for Redis 7.)

I made one that does Julia fractals with ascii art but never published it. If there is no objection I would finish and publish it. (Maybe I'll do it anyways)

Comment From: oranagra

I don't have any conceptual objection other than that i think it's not good use of your time. the other concern is the other overheads (core review, making sure there's no security concerns, and any issues that could surface in the future, like build / sanitizer warnings).

It is also unavailable in https://try.redis.io/ Redis [BUG]

I guess times change. From the documentation:

LOLWUT wants to be a reminder that there is more in programming than just putting some code together in order to create something useful.
