🤡 “Esoteric” Programming Languages

“Esoteric” programming language explorations＆experiments… 🔙

esolangs.org

An “esoteric programming language” (sometimes shortened to “esolang”) is a programming language designed to test the boundaries of computer programming language design, as a proof of concept, as software art, as a hacking interface to another language (particularly functional programming or procedural programming languages), or as a joke. The use of the word esoteric distinguishes them from languages that working developers use to write software. The creators of most esolangs do not intend them to be used for mainstream programming, although some esoteric features, such as visuospatial syntax, have inspired practical applications in the arts. Such languages are often popular among hackers and hobbyists.

Usability is rarely a goal for designers of esoteric programming languages; indeed, their design often leads to quite the opposite. Their typical aim is to remove or replace conventional language features while still maintaining a language that is Turing-complete, or even one for which the computational class is unknown.

  • The earliest, and still the canonical example of an esoteric programming language, is INTERCAL, designed in 1972 by Don Woods and James M. Lyon, who said that their intention was to create a programming language unlike any with which they were familiar; thus, it parodied elements of established programming languages of the day such as Fortran, COBOL, and assembly language.
  • For many years, INTERCAL was represented only by paper copies of its manual. However, its revival in 1990 as an implementation in “C” under Unix stimulated a wave of interest in the intentional design of esoteric computer languages…
