Esolang Computer Languages.

[whm1974]

Esoteric programming languages have been some off and on interest of mine ever since I read about Brainfuck. Basically  they are Turing Tarpits. That is written in rather strange looking code that is hard to read and understand, but still possible to do something useful with these languages.

Of course only a skilled Hacker is capable of writing such Code to begin with. Brainfuck is the better known and well supported one.

 

Anyone here messed with one of these before?

Just wondering but how useful could a Application be written in one of Languages? As in, the program still works properly?

I guess? But it would be a pita to write in the first place and essentially impossible to debug and maintain.

I wouldn't even try since I couldn't do all that much with various forms of BASIC during the mid80's or the 90's. On top of that, I am not all that creative...
