Esoteric Programming Languages
(1/1)
KenR:
Here's an interesting way to spend your time - write esoteric languages.
* BIT - a language that treats all data like C treats strings.
* Chef - a language where the programs produce magnificent meals.
* Haifu - a language based on Eastern philosopy and artistic values.
* HQ9++ - a language which extends the elegance of HQ9+ to the object-oriented paradigm.
* Ook! - a language designed for orang-utans.
* Piet - a language where the programs are works of modern art.
* Whenever - a language with no sense of urgency.
* ZOMBIE - a language designed for evil necromancers.

f0dder:
Haha, the esoteric algorithms part is great!
Drop sort :-*
Towers of hanoi sort :-*
Renegade:
That is just off the hook! :D
I love the ZOMBIE language:
Design Principles
* The language should allow the necromancer to animate dead bodies, summon and control spirits, and solve any computable problem.
* There should be sensible guarantees against overwriting system memory, monopolising CPU cycles, and releasing malicious entities into the world.
* The language must be inherently evil.

Inherently evil! Hilarious stuff! :Thmbsup:
Some of the code examples in the languages are just rich! Check out "Whatever".
Carol Haynes:
The language "Whenever" just about sums up my attitude (at the moment - if I can be bothered to have an attitude).
I love the fact the someone has actually bothered to write an interpreter for the language too the encompasses the design principles of slowing down until it gives up ;)
