Whitespace

Sep 01, 2006 16:51

I just remembered that someone told me there's a programming language called Whitespace... while other programming language ignores white space characters (tab, space, newline), Whitespace actually only accepts tab, space and newline for its syntax.

Am still rather doubting it's a working programming language... especially since the explanation on Wiki sounded quite, well, marvellous.
Humorously, Whitespace has been called a great language for secretive programs. Important code can be printed onto plain sheets of white paper and stored safely without worry of discovery by inspection (or of ever being recovered by anyone, including the intended recipient).

links, geeky
