List of esoteric programming languages
Encyclopedia : L : LI : LIS : List of esoteric programming languages
The following is a list of esoteric programming languages (programming languages designed as a proof of concept, to test the boundaries of computer language definition, or as jokes, and not with the intention of being adopted for real-world programming).
