esoteric programming languages

recently discovered 'argh!' and i've been having a lot of fun with it.. 'l33t' seems cool too but way to complicated to code
so, do you know/use/hate/love esoteric languages???

discuss

I hate them. Waste of time.

The intercal manual is hilarious, but I wouldn't actually waste time trying to use the language.

Waste of time

The only fun thing about most of them must be to implement the interpreter.

I seem to remember that there's a language called "Turing" that is, indeed, an explicit Turing machine language (as opposed to Turing complete).

But using a turing machine written in the C preprocessor is ever so much more fun.

Witty use of the C preprocessor. I've seen it solve the Hanoi problem. The guy/gal who did it is:
1. A genius
2. Somebody with more free time than all of us together

I'm writing a bf interpreter in Python. lol.

Write a gcc frontend to Brainfuck.

okay, but how?

Brainfuck is own.

>>14
Not quite.

BF may own for readability, but feckfeck owns for writeability.

(They may be a waste of time to program in, but I'm sure you'll agree that, as a programmer, feckfeck is much more stress-relieving to write.)

For example, Hello World in BF is:

++++++++++[>+++++++>++++++++++>+++>+<<<<-]>++.>+.
+++++++..+++.>++.<<+++++++++++++++.>.+++.
------.--------.>+.>.

But the same program is feckfeck is:

B00B!!!!!!!!! arsefuck boob!!!!!!
Fuck boob!!!! Boob!!! Boobfuck boob!! fuck boob
Shag!!! Tits buttfuck boob!
Cock fuck boob cock boob!!!!!!
Cock cock BOOB!!  cock fuck boob boob
cock shag! boob!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
cock fuck cock /* ? */
boob!! cock tits!!!!!
Cock TITS!!!!!!! cock fuck boob cock fuck cock

I find esoteric languages useless
