When you have bored programmers with a lot of free time, things like esolangs tend to arise. Esoteric programming languages are strange and fascinating, and I discussed ten of them in this video. I chose the ones that I thought were the most interesting and would garner the most attention. I hope you find this video interesting and, most importantly, entertaining. If you could share and like this video, that would help me tremendously. Let me know what you liked and disliked in the video so I can create better content for you (I won't stop swearing, the least I could do is bleep them out, and if I don't, it's because it sounded too funny).

My favourite esoteric language is not really a language itself, but a library for python called "esoterrible". It's based on a few concepts like "Truthiness is in the eye of the caller", where you have - in addition to True and False - mixed values like Truse, Ftlue and Talse with a specific chance of being True or False. Also, dictionaries perform lookups on the Oxford dictionary if the key is unknown and an error is raised if you mix up American and British English for the variable names.

My favorite esolang is Piet. I created a few programs with that. One thing I found really awesome is how it can calculate PI. In Piet, the number of pixels in the area you are leaving can be used as a constant for the next commend. So, you draw half a line=r, then paint a circle=A, and calculate A/r/r=π. The result becomes more precise with the image size and how well the circle is drawn. There is also a small text-RPG someone wrote in Piet, where you explore an old house.

I can’t help but wrap my head around the idea of a 3D programming language that uses shapes and blocks to build programs. I have no skills I’m programming whatsoever, but I really wanna do it. It’s be like, you have vectors and edges that work together to make a cube, and cubes work together to make a program depending on the touching faces, edges, and vectors that change the outcome based on what the edges and stuff are made out of. Dunno if I’m explaining this right, but I have the idea in my head and wanna see if I can make it a reality, so I’ll be figuring out if I can when I go to college again eventually.

Now I remember what Brainfudge looks like. I was studying computer science back in 1995, and one of our classes introduced us to mathematical concepts too advanced for our first semester. I hated that stuff so much I switched from software to hardware in later semesters, and then when someone introduced me to Brainfudge, it was awful familiar, and now I can see why: Brainfudge is a Turing Machine. Obviously, it is Turing-complete, and it can do anything a Turing machine can do. 28 years later I realized that watching this very video. By the way, I am now a civil engineer. I ended up switching careers in 2009.

[@joedalton77]

@@yellobanana6456 Actually, Brainfuck isn't that difficult of a language really. If you know that what a "Turing complete machine" does in essence is change values on a strip of numbers, then you have mastered much of Brainfuck. The other thing is knowing what each symbol represents, which isn't that difficult either, as there are only a few symbols (6 or 7 iirc. No more than 10) The only tricky thing is implementing stuff like loops and whatnot, as the whole thing that Brainfuck does is essentially "go to a cell, change its value, go to another cell". So, you need to find clever tricks to implement ifs and loops (correction: Brainfuck does have a loop, but it's a very specific one)

The 80x25 limit only exists in Befunge-93, later iterations like the (arguably) most popular Befunge-98 do not have it. Also, for anyone interested, one of the cool things about Befunge is that it's capable of self-modification (i.e. your code can change its own code dynamically while it runs). I used this fact last year to make a small Befunge-98 sand physics simulation in a 10x20 grid... inside the code. And it surprisingly worked better than expected

[@arthur1112132]

Well, In theory, any compiled language can do that, and interpreted ones should too depending on the inner working of their interpreter. This is called polymorphic code. For instance, it's something used by malwares to modify their signatures and try to avoid being detected by antiviruses. However, it would not give the same kind of behaviour as what you did in Befunge. Plus, such a program is anything but easy to write... Do you have any link to your simulation ?

My language of choice would be coded in the DNA base only "AGCT" except that every prime letter in the code is shifted by 1 unless the previous number was a multiple of 3 in which case it it shift by -1 and of course, if it was ALSO a multiple of 7 in which case if shifts by 2 in the direction of your choice. For ease of use it's coded in codons (group of 3) character. But most commands have multiple codons which basically do the same (with slight exceptions), which you will have to learn if you want a chance at reading the code.

I created one over 8 years ago. Albeit, it was a Brainfcku derivative. However, unlike most derivatives where people add an extra tape or stack, or generally make programming in it easier, I stripped Brainfugd of its loop instructions and devised a way to implement logic constructs like while loops, do-whiles, if-else, if-zero, break and continue among many others. Using only a handful of new instructions that when used in different arrangements, you can make a conditional construct of your choosing. It is even possible to make labels and goto them, as well as execute code in reverse, and make reciprocal loops. I am working on a new interpreter, that is going to be much faster, and maybe a transpiler to Brainfugd afterwards. So a while loop in brainfuck looks like this >++++++++[-]++++++++(^~)~(~?!(-)^)

Or it requires all sorts of strange digressions that look like things from other languages. And in the end, nobody finishes a program. Or maybe objects can only be read from outside the scope they were declared in, and can only be written to in their home scope. That would be very weird.

8:44 So basically "public" means that the method will be usable outside of the class. For example you have a class ""Calculator" with public method "Sum" and you have an instance of this class named "calculatorClass". You can access the method "Sum" by writing calculatorClass.Sum();. If the method "Sum" is private you cannot access it so "calculatorClass.Sum();" will give you an error (assuming the Sum method is private). The word "static" means that the method can be used without an instance. For example instead of "calculatorClass.Sum();" you can use "Calculator.Sum();". And last "void". This represents the return value of the method. If you have void that means that the method has no return value. If instead of "void" there was "int" the method is expected to return a integer. Something like a promise, the method promises you that this method will return an integer. And the word "main" is the name of the method ;)

One for a future video: the One Instruction Set Computer. There are a few variants, but the best-known are SBN (subtract and branch if negative) and MOV. The x86 memory management unit can be coaxed into becoming a subtract-and-branch-if-less-than-or-equal-to-zero machine, and x86's MOV instruction alone is Turing Complete. There exists a program called The MOVfuscator which can compile C source code to all MOV instructions. Good luck disassembling that!

[@DistrarSubvoyikar]

Fun fact: any MOV command can be replaced with an AND command and then an OR command, so if you know how to replace a command with MOV then you also know how to run it on a primitive machine that can only do AND and OR

Codecode: a language where the code itself must be typed in through a series of complex cyphers that change based on position of each character. Chunk++: code based on what blocks can be found in a minecraft chunk. Smelloworld: code that is written by describing various smells MTG++: program made solely by describing playstates of a magic game. This is possible. WOF: all variables and functions must use the same name. The program will not refer to the same one twice in a row. Junkdrawer: rules and keywords are randomized each time you open the compiler. Gjallarhorn: each line of code executes several fragmented versions after the main one. Shiggy: running a program will cause the code to decay, and must be repaired afterwards. Also, copy paste is disabled.

For those not aware, python do actually have semicolon that functions like that, it just does not care if you put it in or not. In practise it is used for having multiple statements on the same line, which is usefull when running something like: python -c "foo = lambda x: (x,x**2); print(*foo(sum(range(10))))"

[@finopatton]

Quantum bits: Instead of binary where each bit can have one position, the bits are all calculated as if they were a q-bit meaning you have to find the exact bit size needed for the program to work, but that bits value can be anywhere between zero and the 64 bit integer limit. Each program line would have a written number and each number would be separated by a comma, and when run the computer would emulate a quantum computer and to output what you want you would need not even one wrong number in the entire program otherwise the program wouldn't work. I also estimate that a hello world program would take decades to be discovered in it.

My eso-lang would be something where you have to write everything in the hexadecimal code version of the Unicode version of that character. The only things you don’t have to write in that version is the hexadecimal things themselves. If the code sees a single thing that isn’t in hexadecimal code, or something that doesn’t translate to a valid unicode thing, the whole code refuses to work.

[@galfisk]

I could never write it, but my esolang would be "NAND". Each line is a 2-input NAND gate, starting at 0. Mapped I/O exists in negative number space. On each line, the two first numbers indicate which gate (or mapped I/O location) each input pin gets a signal from, and an optional third negative number sends the output to the mapped I/O. The mapped I/O also contains a one, a zero, and an input alternating between one and zero for each program step. Using this, you construct your own processor, ROM and RAM, and run your program. Or build a subset - for Hello world, you could get away with a small ROM addressed by counter, a preloaded shift register, or (depending how the memory map is constructed) just a bunch of gates outputting the required ones and zeroes in parallel.

My dream terrible esoteric language is one where it is made entirely of non-letter/number symbols ( , . / [ ] ; ' etc). Simple enough compared to most of these, except that to run a program, all those symbols have to be part of a functioning program in a different language. So now you have to figure out if your error messages are referring to the parts of the esoteric language on a given line or the real language. You can also theoretically combine it with Whitespace and write three separate programs in one.

[@Rudxain]

BF doesn't deserve its name. If you remove the "[]" opcodes and add a "@" opcode that does *relative gotos (AKA computed jumps)* you get a Turing-complete lang where every iteration of a loop *does something different.* And because it's a goto, structured loops don't exist at all, and the program becomes more unpredictable. Now, allow it to *modify itself* by placing the input program at the beginning of the tape/memory and you got something very close to Malbonge. My (personal) esolang would be one where computation is mostly based on pointers, *pointers everywhere,* and even pointers to pointers, and pointers that point to double pointers. And allow reflection by providing the program with an extra memory that defines the behavior of the interpreter and the meaning of the instructions, so you could swap the meaning of 2 or more instructions AT RUNTIME to obfuscate your program. Self-modification is allowed, so you can distribute your program encrypted, and decrypt it in memory when the user runs it

My eso lang would be called tomatosoup. It’s like chicken, but instead uses tomatosoup as it’s term, with tomatosoup = 1, and each letter equals 1/10. Then, the return number for each line is equal to the value of the line times 10 minus 17. For example, tomatosouptomatos returns 0, and tomatosouptomatosoup returns 3. The numbers you can return go up to an arbitrary number (haven’t decided). I don’t know enough about coding to really go any further, but I personally really like tomatosoup, and I think there would descriptors for functions that are named after other esoteric languages, just to make things more confusing.

[@dripthanos5595]

my esoteric language would read bottom to top and right to left instead of top to bottom, left to right and has versions for all commonly used languages (LUA, C/C+/C++/C#, Python, Java etc.) that way, instead of writing in that language, you could translate it by simply making everything backwards and flipping it so that the end of the script is at line 1

Brainf*ck (BF) is surprisingly simple when you understood it's operations. It's hard to write, but very close to a Turing machine in theory. I was bored at work and implemented a BF compatible interpreter in COBOL with some additional stack operators. It's a weird old business language for mainframes running an esolang with my interpreter. The weird thing is that COBOL indexes doesn't start with 0, but with 1, consequently you need to shift the input by -1 and output by +1 for valid ASCII signs on the tape. PS: BF depends on 2 things: the cell size, it's usually 8 bit unsigned wrap-around, but can have signed or unsigned 16, 32 or 64 bit wide cells, or even arbitrary wide cells (aka BigNum) , and the size of the tape.

if i made an esolang id call it "Pog" and it would only consist of the word "pog" but you can capitalize each character seperatly and even change the order of the characters in one word so code woukd kinda look like this i guess poG POGram oGP hi = "hello world" gOp hi (and you would have to start each programm with *a random pog combination* and the word POGram) [can someone do the math to find out how many different combinations there are for a pog-combination, please]

[@petercaughran8767]

So I think it's the number of permutations of 6 characters {p o g P O G} and we can choose 3. With elementary statistics it is: 6!/(6-3)! = (6x5x4x3!)/(3!) = 6x5x4 = 120. And the Cbased languages have under 100 keywords, so I think you got a good idea right there

[@WilliamWizer]

it's easy. without chaning the order of the letters you can make 2^n combinations with n characters. in our case 2^3 = 8 the possible order of n different elements is n! so, in our case, 3! = 6 if we multiply both values we get 8*6 = 48 possible combinations of pog.

[@angeldude101]

This sounds similar to COW, which uses the word "moo" to encode its instructions. There are 2³ = 8 different ways to capitalize "moo", along with "OOO", "MMM", "OOM", and "oom". There's also Blub and Ook!, which use the words "Blub" and "Ook" respectively, but select the instruction based on punctuation rather than capitalization.
