Actually, I've seen the specs for Malbolge, and I still think Threaded INTERCAL is more ingenious and extreme.

Really?

Have you compared

with
http://www.99-bottles-of-beer.net/language-intercal-333.html

I'd say INTERCAL is funnier, but Malbolge is more extreme.

Ada isn't just a palindrome. It's a hexadecimal palindrome. How many other languages can make that claim?

(Well, six that I can think of: B, C, D, E, F, and my own 99.)

Hmmm, I dare say that's shorter than the C# version, if you remove the comments. Oh and it will run Linux, if you have enough coal and are willing to wait a few years for X to load. ;) (it does have a graphical output device) As for a beowulf cluster, that might help performance, although your interconnect mechanism would probably be pneumatic ie. tubes (that's what the Internet is made of anyway right?) and the cluster size would require a few tens of millions of units. ;)

So many good and bad languages to pick from. This website contains code samples in just about every known computer language. Cheers!

Take a look at 99 Bottles of Beer, a website holds a collection of the Song 99 Bottles of Beer programmed in different programming languages. My personal favorite is LOLCODE. :-)

Oh really? You don't know what you are talking about.

For the humour-challenged on this thread, there is a whole site devoted to ways of programming '99 bottles of beer': http://www.99-bottles-of-beer.net/

Probably stuff like

def r a;!(i=a=~/0/)?p(a):((?1..?9).map-(0..80).map{|j|a[ j]+(i-j)%9*
(i/9^j/9)*(i/27-j/27|i%9/3-j%9/3)*9}).map{|k|r$`

has something to do with people being turned off by Ruby... Besides, can't you write the same program in a shorter way using APL?

If you want to obfuscate, at least you should try to do it in a beautiful and elegant way, like this Perl program.

Instead of bitching, write a proxy program that sends a text file over SSH connection with rate limiting. Shouldn't be hard either - read a character from standard input (or file), write it to standard output (connected to the SSH program), sleep 250 milliseconds (better yet, 200 + random(1-100), to keep the rate from being suspiciously even), repeat until end of file is reached, exit.

The original poster could even re-use the code in the Expect language entry for the 99 bottles of beer song which not only simulates a human typing, it also simulates said human getting drunker and drunker as the song goes on and making more and more typing errors. Entirely consistent with student programming projects ;-)

Something like this?

Run that in Perl. Was apparently created with Acme::EyeDrops.

Perl's reputation for being impossible to read isn't really deserved... but as long as it's got the reputation anyway, we might as well have fun with it!

How many times did Larry Wall win the IOCCC? Consecutively?

Maybe he meant the Cow programming language?

The indentation is shot.

Report to Conference Room C.
You will be seated in the comfy chair and be forced to endure what initially appears to be a finite PowerPoint presentation, but you will eventually realize is a Kafka-esque random crapflooder.
It is loaded with current buzzwords about some n-tier solution, somehow integrating all 621 languages on 99 bottles, which project will become your life, assuming you scream in the proper musical sequence from a certain Partridge Family episode, which will turn off the presentation and unlock the door.
Good luck.

I want 1.7 billion digits of Pi on the wall .

Hi,

Besides THE Language list (which is also linked to in the story), I also like the Dictionary of Programming Languages, which includes the Language Type and a Description / History for MANY Programming Languages.

In a more "practical" side, it's also interesting / funny to read 99 Bottles of Beer - one program in 620 variations

Where do I find a brainfuck compiler?

The same program, written in 621 of the 2,500+ is here.

• Whitespace
• Java2k (mostly non-english)
• HQ9+
• Beatnik

Greetings...
