  1. There are many more esoteric programming languages by J.D.+Hogg · · Score: 5, Interesting
    My all-time favorite is Chef, which uses food recipes to create functional programs. Check out the Hello World souffle :-)

    If you're into esoteric languages, the reference page is the Cat's Eyes page.

  2. Not a real language by DoorFrame · · Score: 5, Interesting

    When I saw this two or three weeks ago at first I was kind of excited about it... the last link I followed implied that it was a finished language. I thought that was hysterical, a programming language written in Klingon! How nerdy can you get.

    But it's not. I found it rather dull, it's just a little mini-essay about what such a programming language might be like, and what it might be called. I found the whole thing very thin at the time. Of course, the guy might have done some work on it since I last saw it, I haven't followed the link yet.
