“Jokes, art projects, or cruel and unusual punishment”

A fun 19-minute video from commonLuke trying to write a short Fibonacci program in increasingly esoteric languages:

Here are the languages:

Python, Scratch, and assembly (as control),LOLCODE, a language resembling lolcat memes of yore,Piet, a language whose output looks like Piet Mondrian’s abstract art,Brainfuck, whose programs are made chiefly of punctuation,COW, a version of the above where each of the few instructions is a variant of “moo,”Whitespace, whose code consists only of spaces, tabs, and returns,Chef, where programs resemble cooking recipes.

My favourite was Shakespeare, in which the whole program resembles a play. Believe it or not, but this code outputs “HI”:

A New Beginning.

Hamlet, a literary/storage device. Juliet, an orator.

Act I: The Only Act.
