Hardest Programming Language EVER

[calmcarrots]

So I just recently discovered a programming language called (excuse my language) “Brainfuck”. This is a very hardcore language.
Brainfuck - Wikipedia Here is some more information.

This is how you print out “Hello World!” in this language:

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

Do you think a language like this is really necessary? I understand it is for fun but…

I was about to say straight away that 1GL/machine code is probably harder, but then I read the wiki page and now I’m not so sure…

I giggled

Wow, a high level language that’s more complicated than machine code, brilliant!

There are a bunch of languages like that. Try this one;

Whitespace (programming language)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitespace_(programming_language)

Freaking amazing:

Only spaces, tabs and linefeeds have meaning.[1] An interesting consequence of this property is that a Whitespace program can easily be contained within the whitespace characters of a program written in another language, except possibly in languages which depend on spaces for syntax validity such as Python, making the text a polyglot.

But, when is Unity going to add support for Whitespace??

I want to hide code inside my other code… it sounds like so much fun!

All of the above are child play compared to Malbolge.

It took seven years before anyone learned it good enough to write the trivial 99 bottles of beer demo.

I wish unity had an option for one of these, it would make me a far more efficient programmer.

It’s not a hard or useless language - it’s actually quite interesting

[BrainMelter]

They should replace Javascript with Brainfuck.

Well that’s not a waste of anybody’s time is it?

[Rodolfo-Rubens]

Seriously, what kind of person creates these?

[AuroreUnity]

ArnoldC should be your only “alternate” language. GitHub - lhartikk/ArnoldC: Arnold Schwarzenegger based programming language

brilliant

In the old days… people used to have a keyboard with just a 1 and a 0, used to make code that compiled a punched tape which purpose no mortal could comprehend. And the screen was a wooden box with a photon gun inside that blasted blurry pixels against a glass that only filtered 35% of radiation.

Or such tells the legends!

[BrainMelter]

The best thing about Brainfuck: it’s lean!

So simple, so elegant … so it should be easy to use!

Esoteric languages are a good laugh, the funniest one i’ve seen is INTERCAL with its ‘come here’ command.

Okay this one i like, seems even useful and makes a lot of sense, something like that could be a good “training language” for people that never programmed before.

One hard language that is by the way used and useful in some cases is APL (A Programming Language).
You can read some more about it. It’s very interesting. APL (programming language) - Wikipedia
