What ecosteric programming languages do you use/like the idea of?

I'm personally having way too much fun with (I can't get myself to just work on boring Minecraft stuff!) Chef at the moment.

EDIT: Here is a blurb on chef (http://www.dangermouse.net/esoteric/chef.html) and here is a TextMate bundle (I'm using it with Textastic, and I think at least the .tmLanguage file in there will work with Sublime Text, too.) (https://github.com/drnic/Chef.tmbundle)

I saw that language the other day, you think we could put it into CC? Hehe.

Yeah, I think that making an interpreter for Chef in CC is something perfectly doable, but too many projects at the moment…maybe I can put it on my never-ending to-do list though…

EDIT: seems like that package is actually just Ruby syntax :(/>

I just found this, haven't loaded it up yet, but I think it might work.

EDIT: forgot the link :P/>

Brainfuck of course, LimeCode (it is my brainfuck fork), Shakespeare (really really really really awesome) and more. You can find a list of esoteric languages on the 99 bottles of beer page: 99-bottles-of-beer.net

Yeah, that package will probably work in Sublime (I'm on my iPad again, and for whatever reason TeamViewer shut down on my computer so I can't remote into it) but if I want to use it in Textastic I'm gonna have to do a lot of copy-paste-modify porting :(/> (Textastic only likes TextMate files for customization.)

Funge is actually fairly usable but completely unreadable if you aren't fluent in it.

I agree with c4ooo, in that Piet is a kind of cool kind-of language: http://www.dangermouse.net/esoteric/piet.html
It would be a pretty cool to have an editor and interpreter for this in CC but unfortunately we don't have the right (or enough) colours.
