Encyclopedia > Whirl programming language

Whirl is an esoteric programming language created by Sean Heber. Whirl has only two instructions: 0 and 1. These instructions rotate the Operations Ring and Maths Ring which both have 12 sectors. Thus the language actually has 24 commands. Remembering the current positions of the rings is left as an exercise for the programmer.


Sample Code

As an example of Whirl's syntax, here is a small program which reads two integers from standard input, adds them together, and prints the result:

 011000001111000011111000001111000011111000001111000 011111000001100100000110011111000111000111100011001 11000000000111110001000111110011001111100010001100

Esoteric programming language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (749 words)

Along with Befunge, Brainfuck is now one of the most well-supported esoteric programming languages, and it is no surprise that both are highly valued as they were both the first of their respective kinds and still the most elegant.
A despotic language is a Turing tarpit with a stateful encoding, namely a language in which commands are used to select from a finite range of operations and apply these operations to the current state of the program.
