Rare programming languages :
1. Brainfuck
Only 8 commands. Looks impossible to read.
2. Piet
Programs are literally paintings/images.
3. Chef
Code looks like cooking recipes.
4. Whitespace
Only spaces, tabs, and newlines matter.
5. LOLCODE
Syntax inspired by internet memes.
6. Unlambda
Pure functional madness.
7. Zig
Modern low-level systems language.
8. Nim
Python-like syntax with C-level speed.
9. Crystal
Ruby style compiled performance.
10. Pony
Built for highly concurrent systems.
11. Chapel
Designed for supercomputers.
12. Idris
Strong type system focused language.
13. Factor
Stack-based programming language.
14. Raku
The evolved version of Perl.
15. Haxe
Can compile into multiple languages.
16. Io
Prototype-based experimental language.
17. Erlang
Made for fault-tolerant systems.
18. OCaml
Used heavily in compilers/research.
19. Red
Created for lightweight scripting.
20. Mercury
Logic/functional programming hybrid.
Computer Science is way more crazy than people think.
Most rare/unusual Coding languages most developers have never heard of:
• Brainfuck
• INTERCAL
• Piet
• LOLCODE
• Chef
• Whitespace
• Unlambda
• Zig
• Nim
• Crystal
• Pony
• Chapel
• Io
• Red
• Ring
• Vala
• Idris
• Mercury
• Factor
• Forth
• Haxe
• Raku
• Elixir
• OCaml
• Erlang
Some are built for performance.
Some for research.
Some are pure chaos.
Have you used any of these programming languages?
Inspired by the recent EsoLang bench - vibe coded one. Impressive how LLMs can reason and write ASM. But cannot write LOLCODE or TMMLPTEALPAITAFNFAL
Submission for next SIGBOVIK I guess
Do you know?
Some intentionally funny programming languages that actually exist:
• Brainf*ck - minimalism, but painful • LOLCODE - coding in memes • Malbolge - unreadable by design • Whitespace - code using only spaces & tabs • Chicken - programs written with just one word
What started as a weekend project for me is now launched as a much needed improvement to the X API ecosystem
I designed the XDK generator to be open-source, so anyone can build an XDK in the programming language they love
Expecting a LOLCODE XDK soon
Launching new X Developer Kit (XDK) for Python & TypeScript for the X API v2 🚀
With support for OAuth, pagination and streaming, developers can get started with our API quickly and focus on building and scaling their apps.
This highlights our continued commitment to our X developer community.
Learn more about the XDKs here: devcommunity.x.com/t/announc…

For the opposite, try LOLCode 😃
HAI 1.3
BTW comment yr code
I HAS A input ITZ A TROOF
input R [input]
input, O RLY?
YA RLY
IM IN YR loop
VISIBLE "1"!
IM OUTTA YR loop
NO WAI
VISIBLE "0"
OIC
KTHXBYE
Hazlo con LOLCODE para más poder
HAI 1.0
CAN HAS STDIO?
I HAS A VAR
IM IN YR LOOP
UP VAR!!1
VISIBLE VAR
IZ VAR BIGGER THAN 10? KTHX
IM OUTTA YR LOOP
KTHXBYE
My “lol what if AIM but in one HTML file” project accidentally got a small amount of interest.
So here’s the hosted demo: aimless.chat
Here is the lolcode, do with it what you want: github.com/ImZackAdams/AIMle…
