NationMaster - Encyclopedia: COW programming language

The COW programming language is an esoteric programming language created by Sean Heber (2003). It is a brainfuck variant designed humorously with Bovinae in mind. COW has eleven instructions (three more than Brainfuck) and is Turing-complete. The instructions are all moos, only the capitalization varies: mOo, moO, mOO, Moo, and so on. MMM, OOO, and oom are the only exceptions. All other character combinations are ignored and treated as comments. An esoteric programming language is a programming language designed as a test of the boundaries of computer programming language design, as a proof of concept, or as a joke, and not with the intention of being adopted for real-world programming. ...

An introduction to the Corsican language. (2680 words)
	The three arguments in favour of speaking the language are that it's a key to Corsican identity; that bilinguality helps in the learning of other languages and encourages intellectual agility; that speaking Corsican and French opens the door to the rest of the Latin-speaking world of 500 million people.
	At primary level the language can be taught three hours a week, and teachers are urged by the regional education service to integrate Corsican in their courses.
	The cultural sponsorship of the language is considerable and of course in the field of song, it is paramount.

Programming Is In The Mind (5948 words)
	Genetic programming takes a quantized set of goals and a quantized set of things that may be changed, and iterates through random permutations by a set of quantized rules until it finds a solution set which provides a superior result to its other resultant solution sets.
	Programming is the application of thought to problems, including the contemplation of consequences of the decisions and actions mechanized in the code.
	Programming languages are interfaces that allow programmers to tell a computer how their solution works.
