#34Reminds me of the Shakespeare Programming Language (https://esolangs.org/wiki/Shakespeare).
I absolutely love esolangs. I've written a fair few in my time, though never released any. Which is fine, they've all been personal jokes and would be like trying to explain an in-group joke to absolutely everyone. But anyway, to me, esolangs are the closest one can get to Art in Computer Science.
