- mananaysiempre 11mo agoLOLCODE isn’t much of one either? It’s fundamentally a BASIC more or less.
- hnlmorg 11mo ago…but with intentionally weird semantics picked for its humour rather than legibility. It might not be a challenging language, but it is designed more for art than utility. This firmly makes it an esoteric language. Whereas Purrtran has conventional semantics. The cuteness of Purrtran is in the documentation rather than the language design. The esoteric part is really more in the story telling rather than the language semantics.
