The "Hello World" program in various esoteric programming languages

The "Hello World" program in various esoteric programming languages.

I reckon it's got to be hard to beat ETA...

** FUNGICIDE **
-- Fungus calendar --
CURTSEY:
	Fungal toe!  Fungal toe!  Fungal hoe!
		-- (Burnt programmer nucleus)
	Ooooooo!
CRUDDY 2nd TOE:
	Nine(!) fungal hyaena toe5!
	Dungy alfalfa, penalty superlunary -- Oh, blubber!
	Ooooooo!

(When I first encountered ETA, years ago, I tried running it with this interpreter, and it did indeed print "Hello world".)

...but honorable mention has got to the likes of Chef:

After years of robots that can paint cars &c to a tee, but can't walk on natural terrain, this is really impressive. Watch it recover when the guy tries to push it over!

My website is chocka with dead links. I should have cronned up my check_links script to run monthly at work a long time ago. Ah well, now I have broadband at home I can run it at home instead... once I've fixed or removed all the current dead crop.

In the course of which I rediscovered this lovely little nugget courtesy of pameladean on rasf.c in 1998:

Tolkien was a philologist and invented languages the way some people secretly eat chocolate.
