Esotericness

Yay for esoteric programming languages!
You know the old "Hello World" program right?
Well, here it is in 5 less-commonly used programming languages:

In INTERCAL:
DO ,1 <- #13
PLEASE DO ,1 SUB #1 <- #234
DO ,1 SUB #2 <- #112
DO ,1 SUB #3 <- #112
DO ,1 SUB #4 <- #0
DO ,1 SUB #5 <- #64
DO ,1 SUB #6 <- #194
DO ,1 SUB #7 <- #48
PLEASE DO ,1 SUB #8 <- #22
DO ,1 SUB #9 <- #248
DO ,1 SUB #10 <- #168
DO ,1 SUB #11 <- #24
DO ,1 SUB #12 <- #16
DO ,1 SUB #13 <- #214
PLEASE READ OUT ,1
PLEASE GIVE UP

In BF, AKA Brainf***

In L337:
here.

In Whitespace:
here.

And in the best one of all, the Shakespeare Programming Language:
here.

And yes, all of these are actual programs. If you run them through the appropriate compiler, you will get a program that prints "Hello World" to the screen.

Hahahahahaha!!! Funny! Now I realize how much it would suck to program in that... How would you do loops? Ow... That would be painfully hard. I think...

It is confirm my suspicious that we have to keep CS nerds busy, otherwise the world will full of weird programming languages. Hmm, I wonder could you create one called TCGPL - Trading Card Game Programming Language?

Do it in Machine Code!

jgrafton said he'll give me a prize if I write a poem/program in SPL that prints out in ASCII art what it describes. I've yet to actually find *time* to do that.

Indeed, a prize goes out to whomever does what Chris just described.

Also, I've never had Hoffman (and likely won't), but he earns many many awesome points for showing you those languages today.

He didn't :-P
Matt and Chris showed me
