A theoretical language that allows access at both higher and lower levels, including controlling chip-based operations, evaluated in terms of Kittler's Protected Mode
(Project)
Programs in the Chef language are also cooking recipes, making Chef a multicoding esolang. Looking to this early example of an esolang that embraces multicoding, we consider what's at stake in these languages and the possibilities of multicoding aesthetics.

A program that performs its own writing, reading, and execution
(Project)
A computing language with natural language input that always understands you

Peter Wildman uses the special case of the exception to deconstruct runnability vs non-runnability in code, addressing a still-unresolved debate going back to the beginnings of codework.

Messing with internet hostnames in JODI's web-modernist masterpiece
(Project)
This shader-based esolang has a new type of flexible lexicon, making it easier for programmer-poets to focus on compelling code and visuals
(Project)
An initial look at the esoteric coding style for JS (be sure to also see the interview with its creator, Martin Kleppe)
(Project)
The language legit allows a programmer to write code as git activity: branching and merging. Its quine builds on the idea of code about code and reiterates the contentless nature of legit code
(Project)
Why do we need both 0s and 1s? A language that shows you don't
(Project)
Connect to the wrong wifi and every site serves inexplicable words
(Project)
Inject mayhem into code with look-alike characters
(Project)
Arduino, SalesForce, and other high-profile software projects were recently revealed to break the license agreement for Monkey. That license, created for good reason: no one should use it, ever.
(Project)
With his experiments in all-mov compilation, Chris Domas shows how the text of code can be divorced from behavior, even at the assembly level. Then he goes even further, reducing every possible program into one.
(Project)
An ongoing Instagram performance by Nahee Kim where code poems, flow-charts, and diagrams express sexuality as automation
(Project)
Oak: a rust-like language built on a minimalist back-end inspired by brainfuck
(Project)
A (spoken) language that promotes misunderstanding and trippy surreality
(Project)
Open and Shut allows typing without touching the keyboard. It reduces the laptop to a telegraph key, where slamming it shut repeatedly marks dashes and dots

Don't store locally, save your files to the 'cloud': in pieces, endlessly traversing the Internet
(Project)
A tool that embeds images into prime numbers
(Project)
Reading as Writing, Coding as Public Performance

When code is all affect, no computer instructions. Works by Sophie Brueckner

Hiding ASCII art, broken into individual lines deep in source code, to have them emerge as errors cascading through the call stack
(Project)
Like regular Linux, but your first typo deletes your drive
(Project)
A new online literary journal publishes computational poems written for the Web, connecting Oulipo's study of constraint systems with the explicit size limits of demoscene. Taper asks programmer-poets to construct pieces that fall under a challenging size limit and that address the issue's chosen theme
(Project)
Draw your code with an MSPaint-friendly Turing Machine
(Project)
Messing with tokens to maximize the minimalism of brainfuck
