Esolangs Workshop (esoteric programming languages)
Hosted by
°ᴗ°
˜◡˜What happens when programming languages aim not at functionality and efficiency, but at irritation and reflection, or act like poetry? In this beginner-friendly workshop, we'll explore esolangs: languages that do exactly that.
They include code written as images, as sound, or written by two programmers typing in synchrony, their collective rhythm determining commands. Each esolang offers a new take on language design as a medium for expression, critique, and play. Writing code becomes a way to participate in an artwork, performing its logic, and collaborating with its underlying ideas. While many esolangs live in the digital space, the concepts we explore need not be digital at all: they might run only in our heads.
In the second half, Daniel will walk through different approaches to building an esolang. Participants can share off-the-cuff ideas for feedback from the group and pointers on how to concretize them into working languages. Daniel will introduce the first steps toward creating interpreters, and answer questions from more experienced coders who want advice on advancing their projects.
