Esolangs Programming Discussion Thread

Post by ColorfulGalaxy » March 3rd, 2021, 1:10 am

On March 1st, 2021, I registered an account on Esolangs Wiki.
I found that there wasn't any thread for general discussion about esolangs.
So I created this thread.

What is an esolang?
An esoteric programming language , or esolang, is a computer programming language designed to experiment with weird ideas, to be hard to program in, or as a joke, rather than for practical use.

To get started, here's a simple Befunge program: (How it works)

Code: Select all

# 789*+::::,,,19+,49+,,19+,49+,48*,,@
x = 0, y = 0, rule = B3/S23
3o$o$bo!
Note that the space between # and 7 is mandatory

It first calculates "789*+" that is 7+8*9 which is 79 then prints it three times.
Then it prints the new line, and so on.

A better explanation:

Code: Select all

# 789*+::::,,,19+,49+,,19+,49+,48*,,@
#                                      Jumps over the next character,  which is a space. 
 !                                     Ignored because of the #    | The stack
  7                                    Push 7 onto the stack.      | 7 |
   8                                   Push 8 onto the stack.      | 7 | 8 |
    9                                  Push 9 onto the stack.      | 7 | 8 | 9 |
     *                                 Pop 9 and 8, then push 9*8  | 7 | 72|
      +                                Pop 72 and 7, then push 72+7| 79|
       ::::                            Duplicate 79 four times.    | 79| 79| 79| 79| 79|
           ,,,                         Pop and prints "OOO"        | 79| 79|
              19+,                     Calculates and prints 10 (linebreak)
                  49+,                 Calculates and prints 13 (return)
                      ,                Pop and prints "O"          | 79|
                       19+,49+,        Prints linebreak            | 79|
                               48*,    Calculates and prints 32 (space)
                                   ,   Pop and prints "O"          | empty
                                    @  End of program. The rest of the program is unreachable and thus ignored.
