#befunge

2025-03-30

Thinking in two dimensions is absolute madness but is what Befunge expects us to do: in this video, I challenged myself to write a program that endlessly prints random 0s and 1s. Will it behave or completely fall off the grid? ➡️⬆️⬅️⬇️

“If i were to categorize #programming languages like #art movements, there would be mid-century utilitarianism (#Fortran, #COBOL), high-theory formalism (#Haskell, #Agda), Americorporate pragmatism (#CSharp, #Java), grassroots communitarianism (#Python, #Ruby), and esoteric hedonism (#Befunge, #Brainfuck). And I’d say #Go, often described as “#C for the 21st century,” represents neoclassicism: not so much a revolution as a throwback.”

also taking suggestions for other weirdo languages. I'll try to do #befunge at some point but it needs a relatively easy problem...

#Befunge is 25 years old this year!

Cat's Eye Technologies has been planning to mark this occasion by doing some Befunge-related stuff in 2018.

I have a few things in mind, but I don't know how many I'll be able to get done.

But at the very least, here is a retrospective write-up on it that I wrote up (2.5K words):

🕮 catseye.tc/view/The-Dossier/ar

It covers some of the less-covered corners of its history and its design.

#introductions

Cat's Eye Technologies has been foisting weird #programminglanguages and other awful computational things on the world since 1995, which is far too long really and it's high time we stopped, but whatever.

Some of our more popular projects are #Befunge (#esolang, 25 years old this year!) and #ALPACA (#DSL for cellular automata.)

One of our recent projects is #SixtyPical, which puts #abstractinterpretation in the service of #retrocomputing.

For more, see catseye.tc/

Hello!

Cat's Eye Technologies has been foisting weird programming languages and other awful computational things on the world since 1995, which is far too long really and it's high time we stopped, but whatever.

Our most popular project is #Befunge (#esolang) and our latest project is #SixtyPical (#retrocomputing). For more, see catseye.tc/

Our regular Fediverse presence is @catseye. However, that instance is down atm. This is our backup account for such contingencies.

Go to y=5 x=1 on #asciitown (ssh torus@ascii.town) and voice your support for a #Piet interpreter! If we can't have #Befunge, at least let us have Piet!
