It’s high time someone blew the whistle on all the silly prattle about revamping our language to suit the purposes of certain political fanatics. You know what I’m talking about-those who accuse speakers of English of what they call “racism.”…
Most of the clamor, as you certainly know by now, revolves around the age-old usage of the noun “white” and words built from it, such as chairwhite, mailwhite, repairwhite, clergywhite, middlewhite, Frenchwhite, forewhite, whitepower, whiteslaughter, oneupuwhiteship, straw white, whitehandle, and so on…
Some things were not supposed to be Turing-complete. This is a collection of such accidents.
We say dawn breaks so
I imagine it breaking open,
yellow yolk dripping out of a perfect white eggshell,
spidery cracks filling the horizon
bright bolts of new and crackling,
crackling of a hundred whispered
memories, cringes,
nights spent tucked into the wall counting breaths
as if they take more than air with them.
I imagine bursting out and in,
at my fingertips and right
between my lungs,
when I see the first strand
of light unravelling through the inky sky
I swear that I feel the light tremble too.
Take a break

This is a list of some of the most bizarre programming languages you will ever see. These types of languages are usually called “Esoteric Programming Languages”. An esoteric programming language (sometimes shortened to esolang) is a computer programming language designed either as a test of the boundaries of programming language design, to experiment with weird ideas, or simply as a joke, rather than for practical reasons. There is usually no intention of the language being adopted for real-world programming. Such languages are often popular among hackers and hobbyists.
