Let's Take Esoteric Programming Languages Seriously
Esoteric programming languages are challenging to learn, but their unusual features and constraints may serve to improve programming ability. From languages designed to be intentionally obtuse (e.g. INTERCAL) to others targeting artistic expression (e.g. Piet) or exploring the nature of computation (e.g. Fractan), there is rich variety in the realm of esoteric programming languages. This essay examines the counterintuitive appeal of esoteric languages and seeks to analyse reasons for this popul…

C? Rewrite it in Brainfuck.
Doing Things Worst People always seem to want to do things well, and when they fail, they tend to blame their tools. So it should come as no surprise that programmers, being somewhat similar to people (and being generally bad at what they do), have a long tradition of growing near-religious zeal for editors, paradigms, code styles, and, of course, programming languages. The bickering never ends, and whatever one person preaches, another considers harmful.

Measuring #EnergyConsumption in #ProgrammingLanguages for #AI Applications

My research paper is finally out: Measuring Energy Consumption in Programming Languages for AI Applications
A question that has been concerning me over the decades is: what is the actual energy consumption of Java-based systems? The unprecedented growth of artificial intelligence (AI) and applications utilizing agentic AI systems from various vendors has elevated my question about energy consumption to th
