Hey,
Recently I discovered the term "Esolang" that stands for esoteric programming language. Those are basically programming languages that
are not meant functional, but more esthetic and fun/idiotic. I just that's amazing and really shows you how broad the IT spectrum really is.
I.e. you have the language called Orca that is a midi controller for your DAW. Here's a sample of what you can do with it:
Also the one I started learning first is called PIET, short for piet mondrian (the one with those abstract paintings from a topview of N.Y.C.)
It's a stack based programming language which means you have a stack where you put numbers into and do calculations. You start with
a single pixel and the pixel next to it determines a single step. It does this by having a certain color and a certain brightness.
This website is handy if you want to learn more about PIET and use the online decoder:
Does anyone have similar esolang's? I was thinking of one myself where you can program (stack based) while using sound. The bpm determines
the steps and the frequency etc. determines the next step. Then you can input random songs and see what it comes up with ^^ gotta find the time
first haha
