  Esoteric programming language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An esoteric programming language is a programming language designed as a test of the boundaries of computer programming language design, as a proof of concept, or as joke, and not with the intention of being adopted for real-world programming; such languages are often popular among hackers and hobbyists.
Along with Befunge, Brainfuck is now one of the most well-supported esoteric programming languages, and it is no surprise that both are highly valued as they were both the first of their respective kinds and still the most elegant.
A despotic language is a Turing tarpit with a stateful encoding, namely a language in which commands are used to select from a finite range of operations and apply these operations to the current state of the program.

 Perl article - Perl Perl backronym below programming language Larry Wall December - What-Means.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Perl, also Practical Extraction and Report Language (a backronym, see below), is a programming language released by Larry Wall on December 18, 1987 that borrows features from C, sed, awk, shell scripting (sh), and (to a lesser extent) from many other programming languages.
Its versatility permits versions of many programming paradigms: procedural, functional, and object-oriented (though some claim that Perl is not a cleanly designed language because of its multiple paradigms).
Perl is often considered the archetypal scripting language and has been called the "glue that holds the web together", as it is one of the most popular CGI languages.

 Whirl - Dizzy Programming
While the Whirl Team was tempted to build a compiler that converted text source files of 0s and 1s into very small binary files with a sequence of 0/1 bits, the idea was thwarted at the last minute by a sudden attack of laziness.
When a Whirl program begins, the operations ring is set as active and it is in the Noop position.
Whirl has been termed a "Turning Tarpit" language which means: A highly minimalist despotic language in which the only way to select an operation is by moving along a list of stateful encodings.

 Whirl - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Whirl is an esoteric programming language created by Sean Heber (2004).
Whirl has only two instructions: 0 and 1.
As an example of Whirl's syntax, here is a small program which reads two integers from standard input, adds them together, and prints the result:

Experience with slow "automatic programming" systems, plus their own experience with the problems of organizing loops and address modification, had convi nced program mers that efficient programming was something that could not be automated.
The language described in the "Preliminary Report" had variables of one or two characters in length, function names of three or more characters, recursively defined "expres sions", subscripted variables with up to three subscripts, "arithmetic formulas" (which turn out to be assignment statements), and "DO_formulas".
Von Neumann languages constantly keep our noses pressed in the dirt of address computation and the separate computation of single words, whereas we should be focusing on the form and content of the overa ll result we are trying to produce.

Whirl is an esoteric programming language with only two instructions: 0 and 1.
Nevertheless, there remains a strong relationship of happiness to goal fulfillment and the brain's reinforcement mechanism, even if the goals themselves may be more complex and/or cerebral, longer term, and less selfish than a lower animal's goals might be.
The view that happiness is a reinforcement state can apply to some non-biological systems as well, as a computer or robot could be said to be "happy" when it is in a state of reinforcing previous actions that led to satisfaction of its programmed goals.

 ATPM 8.03 - How To: Mops Programming—Part 1
I believe she is saying that stack programming naturally leads to use of a postfix or Reverse Polish Notation (RPN) as being right for the job, and that stack usage radically reduces the need for declared variables.
Mops programs that use only the normal high-level Mops words are inherently structured and modular (by the Dijkstra/Parnas definitions), excepting only the use of EXIT and EXECUTE (which take program control out of line).
Execution of the program is tantamount to interpretation of the dictionary, either before or after the program is installed as a standalone, i.e.

 Perl - free-definition   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Rather, perl (the program) first compiles an entire program into an internal form (a parse tree) which is then optimized before being run.
And long-running programs are rather fast and efficient compared to strictly-interpreted languages, at the expense of short programs suffering the overhead of the compile-optimize stage.
That is, a module could alter the grammar for the program that imported it.

 Perl - Iridis Encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
A major advantage of Perl for those who work with large quantities of data is that it is highly scalable, as it does not place arbitrary limits on the sizes of its built in data structures.
The basic control structures are similar to those used in the C or Java programming languages:
Due to a linguistic foible of the Perl language, these are not regarded as true loops; the next, last and redo statements cannot be used inside a 'do' block.

There are at least two approaches to generic programming: use a preprocessor to generate instances of generic functions on some given datatypes, or extend a programming language with the possibility to define generic functions.
Even in a language where functions are first-class citizens, you sometimes want to write programs at a meta level, be it to get that extra leverage in productivity, to test some ideas for language extensions, for debugging/instrumenting your code, or for analyses and transformations.

Program your CD player for about 4 or 5 songs and listen carefully - these guys pack more into one song than some prog acts put into a double CD.
