A silly little automaton language called WONT. You are given a random state and you assert what wont happen as you transition to the next cell.

Are there hand-drawn programming languages?
Without OCR or any kind of shape or symbol recognition.
Where lines somehow actually describe processing.
Like water in a channel.
#esolangs #esolangIdea
No-ops may be optimized at runtime.
IO and math and memory allocation and binary encodings may possibly be difficult to express.
But UI and graphic processing and input events should be first class.

Still plagued by thoughts around counterinterpreters. Figured out some way to do functions:

call isnt less than 1, call isnt greater than 2, ...
    wont return, wont jump, ..., cant jump here.
    wont return, wont jump, ..., cant jump here.
wont jump, ..., cant jump here.

call isnt less than 2, call isnt greater than 3, ...
    wont return, wont jump, ..., cant jump here.
    wont return, wont jump, ..., cant jump here.
wont jump, ..., cant jump here.

We really read one book at the very end of the year and have made it my quest to make that our whole personality for the rest of the month apparently.

Anyways, we present, The Counterinterpreter.

Why do people create wild languages like Brainfuck, Piet, or INTERCAL? 🤔💻
Because sometimes code isn't about practicality—it’s about expression 🎭💡

Esolangs—esoteric programming languages—are creative experiments that:

・ Stretch the limits of logic and syntax
・ Inspire new perspectives in programming
・ Serve as art, satire, and technical puzzles
・ Sometimes offer real insights (like Alice or Hexagony)

While most are impractical, their spirit fuels innovation and curiosity in IT Ops, cybersecurity, and beyond 🔐🌐

I've finished and released the #interpreter for my new esoteric #programminglanguage , Bespoke!

https://github.com/WinslowJosiah/bespokelang

I've also been having lots of fun trying to solve #programming challenges with it, including #codegolf challenges.

You may be cool, but are you “my profile picture is the source code of a program” cool?

@risottobias The word #esolangs applies to all kinds of weird computer languages, not just #Brainfuck. See here and have fun:

Why did I do this?

This prompts for a digit and outputs "Hello World" that many times. Yes i am dead inside.

Save me.

I had a small break from mastodon, so I guess I'll make a new #introduction post.

I'm Lily: a #transGirl living in the hell that is #Poland.

I code (duh) in #python, #CPP, trying out #nim. I also make own programming languages from time to time (often #esolangs)

I'm enthusiastic about #GNU/ #Linux (again duh) and creating conlangs!

I'm neurodivergent: living with #ASD, #ADHD and #dyslexia, while fighting off #depression.

I also sometimes write #poems and shitpost.

Hey nerds, I'm CyberneticSquid, also a nerd ( :he_him: ).

I'm new to Mastodon, and enjoy #programming and #digitalart as well as a bit of #gaming. Nice to meet y'all.
