I really like You are Reading the Name of this Esolang[1] (pronounced "you are hearing the name of this esolang") as a concept. Essentially it's brainfuck, Huffman encoded into a stream of ones and zeroes, with brackets added that evaluate to 0 or 1 depending on whether the subprogram contained within the brackets halts or loops forever. My favorite thing about esolangs is using them as a chance to try out a design choice that's interesting but not necessarily good. Like what does making gotos an expression do to a simple lisp-y language? Designing and implementing languages is what I was most interested in in programming for a while and esolangs are a nice low-stakes way to practice that for me.
