Hint

Have you heard of esoteric programming languages? Look at the challenge description closely, too.

The title indicates that this probably related to a programing language and the Ookay in the clue helps us find out that this is related to the Ook programming language. A quick search finds us an online interpreter for Ook. Pasting our text into that yields our flag.
