Esoteric Programming Language thread

[mynameajeff]

Talk about (and share) Programming languages that are not known to many!

 

An example of this is greentext

Also, feel free to try your hand at making something in the codes that people share!

I personally like LOLCODE

#define >implying if#define is ==#define and &&.....

that's nothing esoteric really if it can be done with defines in a C language or similar

the real deal is the brainfuck, Ook. and the likes

 

the whole point of a language being esoteric is to make it imposible for a human to read and understand

if you got commands that differ by more than one character a human can easily memorize, read and trace the code

Do you think a normie could look at that and understand it? 

But I guess you are correct

what's a normie?

I think Norwegian people are more intelligent than you think they are...

A normal person who does not understand programming

[DXMember]

A normal person who does not understand programming

a normal person who does not understand programming doesn't understand

int i = 5 > 6 ? 1 : 2;

or a lambda expression, that doesn't make it esoteric

lolcode on the other hand makes it more intuitive and more likely for a person to guestimate the intended purpose

Technically but I think we're going off the esolangs.org definition

 

An esoteric programming language, or esolang, is a computer programming language designed to experiment with weird ideas, to be hard to program in, or as a joke, rather than for practical use.

LOLCODE is awesome, you have such a fun time when writing in it lmao
