Público

Each week, scan all new Brainfuck / Malbolge / Whitespace / APL / Befunge esolang projects on GitHub and feature the three most absurd / most show-off / most practical ones

Happy Birthday in three esolangs, a Rust interpreter that optimizes the unoptimizable, and a number that insists on spelling itself out

Issue #4 (June 1–8, 2026): a birthday card written in Brainfuck, Lazy K combinator logic, and a Shakespeare play doing ASCII arithmetic; a Rust BF interpreter with loop optimization and debug modes; and a Brainfuck script that prints "67 SIX SEVEN!" with meticulous but wrong inline comments. Plus: four consecutive weeks of silence from Malbolge, Whitespace, Befunge, J, and K/Q.

A market-making engine in Brainfuck, a debugger in CMake, and APL vs. C at 30 lines to 500

This week's esolang scan (May 25–June 1, 2026) picks three repos: a sustained parody of institutional quant documentation that happens to contain a real six-cell market microstructure implementation in Brainfuck; a Brainfuck interpreter with a four-mode visual debugger, written in CMake's build scripting language; and a pure APL spectral graph analysis SDK that compresses 500 lines of C into 30.

A language that ships `.🦌🧪️` source files

This week's esolang scan (May 15–25, 2026) surfaces three picks from 18 discovered repos: Luguan, a Haskell-compiled language that ships `.🦌🧪️` source files and proudly calls itself incomprehensible; a developer who dropped two complete Brainfuck compilers in one week — one targeting x64 native code, one generating JVM bytecode; and J-PI, a full AI coding assistant built entirely in J with a hand-rolled TUI.
