1. Ook!
If you've ever felt like a monkey just banging away at a keyboard, then will make you feel right at home. It's a language designed primarily for primates, specifically the orangutan. With Ook! you only use three syntax elements:
Here are a few examples of Ook! in action:
- Ook. Ook?
- Move the Memory Pointer to the next array cell.
Ook. Ook?
Move the Memory Pointer to the next array cell.
- Ook? Ook.
- Move the Memory Pointer to the previous array cell.
Ook? Ook.
Move the Memory Pointer to the previous array cell.
- Ook. Ook.
- Increment the array cell pointed at by the Memory Pointer.
Ook. Ook.
Increment the array cell pointed at by the Memory Pointer.
- Ook! Ook!
- Decrement the array cell pointed at by the Memory Pointer.
Ook! Ook!
Decrement the array cell pointed at by the Memory Pointer.
- Ook. Ook!
- Read a character from STDIN and put its ASCII value into the cell pointed at by the Memory Pointer.
Ook. Ook!
Read a character from STDIN and put its ASCII value into the cell pointed at by the Memory Pointer.
Getting the idea? Yeah, me neither...

2. Piet
For those appreciative of fine art, is a language that you'll surely enjoy. Inspired by the abstract artist Piet Mondrian, Piet is a programming language that converts programs into abstract geometric paintings. Programs are made up of 20 different colors, and then read by the compiler based on hex values to run a program. Check out some of the crazy that Piet programmers have come up with.
3. Whitespace
Unfortunately, the name for this programming language is exactly what it does: creates programs based off of... whitespace. The Whitespace website has a great description of how the language works.
Most modern programming languages do not consider white space characters (spaces, tabs and newlines) syntax, ignoring them, as if they weren't there. We consider this to be a gross injustice to these perfectly friendly members of the character set. Should they be ignored, just because they are invisible? Whitespace is a language that seeks to redress the balance. Any non whitespace characters are ignored; only spaces, tabs and newlines are considered syntax.
4. LOLCODE
is my personal favorite among esoteric languages. The language is based off of the phenomenon, and uses LOLCats syntax to make programs run. Or something like that. Just looking at a sample bit of an LOLCODE program will explain why it's a fan favorite.
- HAI
- CAN HAS STDIO?
- PLZ OPEN FILE "LOLCATS.TXT"?
- AWSUM THX
- VISIBLE FILE
- O NOES
- INVISIBLE "ERROR!"
- KTHXBYE
HAI
CAN HAS STDIO?
PLZ OPEN FILE "LOLCATS.TXT"?
AWSUM THX
VISIBLE FILE
O NOES
INVISIBLE "ERROR!"
KTHXBYE
Surprisingly, LOLCODE has captured interest in parts of the programming community. The official site lists in languages like PHP, Python, Perl, .NET and Java. Who knows, maybe someday we'll see LOL programming courses taught in schools...
5. Shakespeare
Shakespeare is not as simple as LOLCODE to wrap your head around. In case you haven't figured it out yet, Shakespeare is a programming language based on the writings of the great playwright. Each program contains a title, acts, scenes and characters to make brilliant source code that's actually fun to read. Here's Act I, Scene I of "Hello World":
- The Infamous Hello World Program.
-
- Romeo, a young man with a remarkable patience.
- Juliet, a likewise young woman of remarkable grace.
- Ophelia, a remarkable woman much in dispute with Hamlet.
- Hamlet, the flatterer of Andersen Insulting A/S.
-
- Act I: Hamlet's insults and flattery.
- Scene I: The insulting of Romeo.
- [Enter Hamlet and Romeo]
- Hamlet:
- You lying stupid fatherless big smelly half-witted coward!
- You are as stupid as the difference between a handsome rich brave
- hero and thyself! Speak your mind!
- You are as brave as the sum of your fat little stuffed misused dusty
- old rotten codpiece and a beautiful fair warm peaceful sunny summer's
- day. You are as healthy as the difference between the sum of the
- sweetest reddest rose and my father and yourself! Speak your mind!
-
- You are as cowardly as the sum of yourself and the difference
- between a big mighty proud kingdom and a horse. Speak your mind.
-
- Speak your mind!

6. Befunge
The goal for Chris Pressey, creator of the programming language, was simple: Create a language that was as difficult to compile as possible. Befunge accomplishes this by the two main features of the daunting language:
- Self modifying - the p instruction can write new instructions into the playfield; and
- Multi-dimensional – the same instruction can be executed in four different contexts (in a left-to-right series of instructions, or right-to-left, or upward or downward.)
Regardless, there are very smart people, (with
way too much free time), who have created compilers for Befunge.

7. reMorse
is a language intended to look like morse code. Visions of submarines and telegrams come to mind with this simple yet incredibly challenging language. Here's the reMorse version of "Hello World":
- - - - ..- ...-.---.;newline
- - - - .-. - ..-.- ...-. ---.;!
- - - - ...- . . -.---.;d
- ----. . . -.---.;l
- ----. . -...---.;r
- ----. -...---.;o
- ----...-.- ..-. ---.;W
-
- -..............;output all characters
- - - ..- ...-.---.;newline
- - - .-. - ..-.- ...-. ---.;!
- - - ...- . . -.---.;d
----. . . -.---.;l
----. . -...---.;r
----. -...---.;o
----...-.- ..-. ---.;W
//author didn't feel like doing this part
-..............;output all characters
This language might be a tad on the difficult side for the rest of us (with the exception of amateur radio specialists). You know it's a bear to program when the author of the language won't finish all of the basic example, due to complexity.
8. FALSE
With an appropriate negative connotation, is a language meant to discourage even the cleverest programmers. Based on the language, FALSE uses a punctuation based syntax (gross!) to help sour the programming experience. From the FALSE creator himself:
I designed this language with two particular objectives: confusing everyone with an obfuscated syntax, and designing as powerful a language as possible with a tiny implementation: in this case a compiler executable of just 1024 bytes (!), written in pure 68000 assembler.
Yet FALSE isn't the most ridiculous of the esoteric languages, and could actually serve real world purposes, as the operations are reasonably sensible and the language isn't
extremely complex. Maybe somebody, someday, will make a useful real-world application out of the language...
False.
9. Whenever
Imagine a surly teenager as a programming language, and you've got yourself . Whenever is a simple language that does what it wants, when it wants.
It takes the program code and treats each line as an item in a to-do list. The interpreter chooses an item from the list at random to execute, and executes the statement. In some cases, the statement will contain a clause that specifies that it cannot be executed until certain conditions apply. This results in the statement being deferred and placed back on the to-do list.
Don't think for a minute you can actually control a Whenever program. Imagine how hard this makes programming something like "99 Bottles of Beer"! The program would return something that read like it had already consumed all 99.
- defer (4 || N(1)
- defer (4 || N(1)==N(2)) print("Take one down and pass it around,");
- defer (4 || N(2)==N(3)) print(N(1)+" bottles of beer on the wall.");
- 1#98,2#98,3#98;
defer (4 || N(1)
defer (4 || N(1)==N(2)) print("Take one down and pass it around,");
defer (4 || N(2)==N(3)) print(N(1)+" bottles of beer on the wall.");
1#98,2#98,3#98;

In real life, l33t is "teh sUxX0r" due to the fact that you can't use it for anything useful. Ah well, back to hacking with all the other script kiddies and trolls!
