Some well-known satire/parody languages are Omgrofl, Shakespeare, ArnoldC, but there're many more. Can check https://esolangs.org/wiki/Category:Thematic https://esolangs.org/wiki/Category:Thematic & https://esolangs.org/wiki/Category:Joke_languages https://esolangs.org/wiki/Category:Joke_languages. But although weird esolangs, don't see how Velda and Piet be considered satire.
- zahlman 9mo agoI would say these are just joke languages that aren't trying to parody anything or use satire. When I think of parody or satire in programming languages, the example that comes to mind is the "C plus equality" project used for rather trolling critique of contemporary "social justice" ideology.
- forgotpwd16 9mo agoParody definition is humorous imitation so the ones I mentioned definitely are. Omgrofl (and similar LOLCODE) can be argued is also satire in regards to adoption of internet slang/memes in formal environments and chasing trends in programming/engineering design. The other two agree they aren't. But to me seemed, considering submitted language and their own examples, GP was asking for parody/thematic languages, which is why included those. The wiki links weren't meant to say joke/thematic == satire/parody. It's just that the wiki lacks explicit "parody" and "satire" categories, instead listing any relevant to those topics under the two given ones.
- zahlman 9mo agoFair enough.
- sedatk 9mo agoINTERCAL was also a satire of the programming languages of its era, AFAIK.
