Prehistory of Esoteric Programming Languages

Description of Resource:

While INTERCAL marks a watershed in the history of esoteric programming languages, it is by no means the first of the genre. In fact its main serious effect is the recognition that languages with screwy syntax and semantics might be objects worthy of study in their own right. But, there were esoteric programming languages in the 1960s and even earlier.
