Found out about a cat-themed #programminglanguage called Mewlix! 
It very much reminds me of Lua.
Only a #Linux build is available, but you can build from source on #Windows. I'm having fun with it, and writing a syntax highlighter for #VSCode.
Details at https://kbmackenzie.xyz/projects/mewlix

Deadfish interpreter in Mewlix.
Uses an interactive shell, in a similar way to the original interpreter.

New post: Bespoke: a programming language, tailor-made by me
I've finished and released the #interpreter for my new esoteric #programminglanguage , Bespoke!
https://github.com/WinslowJosiah/bespokelang
I've also been having lots of fun trying to solve #programming challenges with it, including #codegolf challenges.
The #interpreter for my new #esolang is working! I wrote it in #Python this morning.
Right now, the main interpreter loop is in one long and somewhat nested function. The only thing left to do is to convert it to a context manager.
Back when I went to MATC, I created an #esolang called "Poetic". It was like #brainfuck , but the commands were encoded in the lengths of words.
https://esolangs.org/wiki/Poetic_(esolang)
https://winslowjosiah.com/stuff/matc/vicom128/final/
But I have an #idea for a better esolang, which actually achieves what I wanted it to.
Hmm, I know there's Whitespace, but is there an #esolang that's the opposite, without any whitespace? BASIC almost got there, I think.
(And no, just replacing whitespaces with some unused ASCII or Unicode would be a boring solution)
Tinkering around with a FRACTRAN library I wrote in Common Lisp :^)
I was too lazy to add sequential functions, but it is possible if you assign a unique prime to each function (as it will permit only that function)
Prime numbers just happen to be a powerful way to express the concept of "distinct" objects. In this case, the "objects" are registers/memory addresses. Might try replacing primes with strings...
TIL the BrainFuck programming language has its own IDE

OMG, don't eat or drink anything while watching this 
#EsoLang
3) FXYT (https://github.com/susam/fxyt): A tiny, stack-based, postfix, canvas colouring language with only 36 simple commands. A very recent project and there is not much of a community around it yet. Nevertheless, I find it a lot of fun to play with.
2) CFRS[] (https://github.com/susam/cfrs): An extremely minimal drawing language consisting of only 6 simple commands: C, F, R, S, [, and ]. Received several impressive demos from community members. One such demo by btknu is attached to this post.
Yesterday I was shown the esolang https://esolangs.org/wiki/Befunge and was surprised how much it reminded me of Orca. I was curious, @neauoire, have you ever written about the process/ideas/inspirations on the creation of Orca? #livecoding #orca #esolang
I just released my first game on Steam: SIC-1, a free #esolang #zachlike: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2124440/SIC1/
If you're tired of the conveniences of modern programming language, give SIC-1's single-instruction (subleq) programming a try!
The Handmade stream starts in an hour or so, I'll be talking in two hours about fun things that I stumbled upon while exploring #esolang and virtual machines.
https://handmade-seattle.com/
Let me introduce you to one of my favourite #esolang.
Thue is a matrioshka esoteric computer based on string rewriting rules.
A Thue program consists of two parts: a list of substitution rules, which is terminated with a line having both sides of the operator empty, followed by a string representing the initial program state, which may extend over multiple lines.
In 1879 Gottlob Frege published his Begriffsschrift: A formula language, modeled on that of arithmetic, of pure thought.
