The wierdest programming language?
As a newly inspired hacker, I'm fairly new to the world of software, and would love to learn a new language. Now, rather than sifting through the endless stream of debates on stack overflow in search of the "best" programming language, I have a different plan.
I'm going to learn five entirely unrelated, unusual, and potentially useless languages, just for fun. What would you recommend? Why is it awesome? What makes it neat/cool/wierd?
- RodgerTheGreat 13y agoIf you want to learn languages which are broadly different from those in popular use, learn Forth (or Postscript or Factor), APL (or J or K) and Prolog (or try writing something nontrivial in SQL). You might also peruse the esoteric programming language wiki[1]. Some contain interesting and original ideas, and many are surface-level gimmicks.
