An Introduction To Programming With Processing
Alan Turing (1912 - 1954) is heralded as the father of computer science
What about speed, efficiency and dis-ambiguity, are these not also amongst the
unique qualities of a programming language?
Simply put, no they are merely guidelines that programmers may or may not
adapt into the computer languages they develop. However, most useful
programming languages will in some form or another adapt these standards into
their design. There is another form of computer language development that does
not comply with these standards, but the languages that develop from this field do
still comply with Turing completeness, as without this design implementation it
would not be possible to run the language on a computer modern or old.
This field of computer science is referred to as esoteric programming languages.
Esoteric programming languages usually are not designed to be useful for realworld
programming situations but are usually more popular among hackers that
develop these language to test the boundaries of computer programming language
design.
A relatively well known example of an esoteric programming language is the
language known as brainfuck . Brainfuck is known as a Turing-tarpit language as
it still qualifies as a Turing complete language even though the entire language
consists of only 8 commands and no operands. We'll be discussing what exactly a
command is shortly and what an operand is a bit later, but needless to say this is a
language that is still functional with a bare minimum of interfacing protocols. An
example of a “hello world program” (yet another concept we will get to a bit
later), which is a program that simply prints the words “hello world” to the screen
in brainfuck code follows:
