Now on ScienceBlogs: "Investigative science journalism" and books I like to read [All of My Faults Are Stress Related]
Finding the fun in good math; Shredding bad math and squashing the crackpots who espouse it.
Mark Chu-Carroll (aka MarkCC) is a PhD Computer Scientist, who works for Google as a Software Engineer. My professional interests center on programming languages and tools, and how to improve the languages and tools that are used for building complex software systems.

Sorry for the missed weeks of friday pathological programming language columns. To be honest, I'm running out of languages. I'm sure there must be more, but my usual sources (dealers?) are running out - so send links! Anyway, today I'm...

All week, I've been buried by a wave of requests to write about LOLCODE today. Normally, I do try to honor requests from readers, but from the time I started my friday pathological languages, I've always tried to stick to...

Today's a mighty cool example of bizzare language design, called GammaPlex In terms of language design, it's nothing particularly special: it's yet another stack language with a befunge-like graphical syntax. What's unusual about GammaPlex is that it's strongly focused...

I thought that it would be fun to stick with the "stack-based" theme of last week's pathological post, but this time, to pick an utterly pointlessly twisted stack based language, but one that would be appreciated by the mascot...

While browser over at programming.reddit.com, I came across something simultaneously hideous and amazing. I've showed quines before as part of the pathological programming posts: a quine is a program which, when run, generates itself as an output. I've even...

Today's friday programming language insanity is a tad different. I'm going to look at another twisted stack-based language. I've got a peculiar fondness for these buggers, because back in the day, I was a serious Forth addict. One of...

As promised, this week, I've got a new friday pathological programming language. This one is another 2-dimensional language, but it's pretty different from any of the 2d languages I'm written about before. It's called "Flip", and the warped minds...

Today's bit of pathology is a really silly, and really fun language called Clunk, with a downloadable package containing a perl implementation here. I'm not sure that it's Turing compete, but my best guess is that it is. It's...

For reasons that I'll explain in another post, I don't have a lot of time for writing a long pathological programming post, so I'm going to hit you with something short, sweet, and beautiful: binary combinatory logic. I've written...

For today's installation of programming insanity, I decided to go with a relative of Thue, which is one of my favorite languages insane languages that I wrote about before. Thue is a language based on a rewriting system specified...
