In the modern world, there are quite a few programming languages of varying complexity. But how and under what circumstances are they born?
Most programming languages are a unique answer to some problems that have arisen when creating program code. They are designed to address issues related to functionality and be useful in the process of developing various projects.
However, sometimes programmers get bored and want to relax, get creative or have some fun. Then they can come up with fun programming languages that they call esoteric.
What is an esoteric programming language
This is a programming language that is needed to test the capabilities of a real language or to confirm a concept. It can also be created as art, a hacker interface to another language, or just for fun.
From history
INTERCAL is considered the earliest representative of an esoteric programming language. It was developed by Don Woods and James M. Lyon in 1972. They decided to create a programming language that was unlike any other. INTERCAL parodied elements of the programming languages of the time: Fortran, COBOL, etc.
10 fun programming languages
LOLCODE
This esoteric programming language was invented in 2007 by Adam Lindsey, a computer researcher at Lancaster University. The author used slang from English-language memes in the language, so you can understand the code without even knowing the language's syntax.

VISIBLE “HAI WORLD!”
KTHXBYE
SHAKESPEARE
