I couldn’t recognize what language was used for that code.

Does anybody know what language it might be? Of course, it could be a
fake.

 The one with 'if ("true")' and the mix of // and # comments? It looks made-up.

if ("true") makes a lot of sense in our times of alternative facts and moral relativism... (:-))

In fuzzy logic proper ("fuzzy logic" refers neither to fuzzy nor to logic (:-)) you could have (so-called linguistic variable):
if almost true then
    s1;
else
    s2;
end if;
and follow both paths with different levels of confidence. A potentially interesting language which could be efficiently implemented on modern multicores. The process of splitting paths is called "fuzzification." When you must bring them back to a single choice using some method like selecting the path with the highest confidence level, that is called "defuzzification."
