Tier 16

Overview The Esoteric File Archive is an archive on Github that is a large collection of various esoteric programming languages that are created to test weird ideas, as a joke, or to be as hard to use as possible. The archive was created by Graue, creator of the site Esolangs.org, which describes itself as "This wiki is dedicated to the fostering and documentation of programming languages designed to be unique, difficult to program in, or just plain weird." Examples Here are some notable examples of the many programming languages on the site: brainfuck - The most well known esoteric language, it only uses 8 commands: < > + - . , [ and ]. A program printing 'Hello world!' looks like this: ++++++++[>++++[>++>+++>+++>+<<<<-]>+>+>->>+[<]<-]>>.>---.+++++++..+++.>>.<-.<.+++.------.--------.>>+.>++. Malbolge - A programming language named after the 8th circle of hell, it was designed to be as complex as possible with features such as self-altering code and base 3 arithmetic. A program printing 'Hello, world" looks like this: (=<`#9]~6ZY327Uv4-QsqpMn&+Ij"'E%e{Ab~w=_:]Kw%o44Uqp0/Q?xNvL:`H%c#DD2^WV>gY;dts76qKJImZkj UwU: A cute esolang - A programming language that is based on UwU words and UwU faces like :}.
