  • BIT - a language that treats all data like C treats strings.
  • Chef - a language where the programs produce magnificent meals.
  • Haifu - a language based on Eastern philosophy and artistic values.
  • HQ9++ - a language which extends the elegance of HQ9+ to the object-oriented paradigm.
  • Ook! - a language designed for orangutans.
  • Piet - a language where the programs are works of modern art.
  • Whenever - a language with no sense of urgency.
  • ZOMBIE - a language designed for evil necromancers.
