Revision as of 13:17, 27 August 2009
Can we call this language "esoteric"? I think any language where emoticons are mathematical instructions deserves that title. Some lines look like Befunge...like this one from the wiki:
p2=.(".@(,&'x') %&x: <:@(x.&^)@#) p
That line presumably does math. --Mwn3d 07:31, 10 December 2007 (MST)
- I wouldn't call it "esoteric"...Esoteric languages, to my mind, are ones that make difficult even common tasks. A look at J's quicksort wouldn't lead me to that conclusion. --Short Circuit 08:37, 10 December 2007 (MST)
