Malbolge would be a challenge to the programming community.
"Here is a language. I bet you can't make it do anything."
Some people clearly like being challenged (see, for instance, the writer of the 99 bottles of beer algorithm)
- adavies42 14y agoyes, that was the design goal. intercal is supposed to be unlike any other language, brainfuck is supposed to be minimalistic, malbolge is supposed to be impossible to use.

- xn13 14y agoI really meant it as a joke/proof-of-concept, rather than a challenge per se. That some people came along later and found it to be an entertaining challenge was a happy accident.
