Esolangs
summary
A rapid tour of concrete esoteric languages and what makes each hard or clever: BF compilers fit in <200 bytes, Befunge uses two-dimensional, self‑modifying instruction flow, Pyatt (Piet) encodes code as colored pixel transitions, Whitespace uses only space, tab, newline so everything else is comment. Malbuns (Malbolge) is intentionally hardest and its first working programs are found by beam search; Villagio maps instructions to MIDI and can print a score.
