Amazing Coding Languages - SIM-2015410 - Nov 19, 2013
Hi HF, i wanted to make a thread for all those languages that no one has ever heard of, and yet are actually great languages!
Here are some of my favorite unknown languages, check these out:
- Haskell - http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Haskell
- Scala - http://www.scala-lang.org/
- D - http://dlang.org/
- Haxe - http://haxe.org/
- Clojure - http://clojure.org/
- Ioke - https://ioke.org/
- Nemerle - http://nemerle.org/About
And then some more amusing languages:
- LOLcode - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LOLCODE
And a great wiki about all the esoteric languages, some of these are truly amazing. Like CHEF. Chef is amazing 🙂 http://esolangs.org/wiki/Main_Page
Hope you find this thread interesting and/or informative. Feel free to post any other languages you think deserve a mention :)

You forgot an important family of languages. The ML family of languages of which Ocaml and F# are part of.

DogeScript is rather amusing.
A basic HTTP server:
PHP Code
<?php
so http
plz http.createServer with much request response
plz response.writeHead with 200, { 'Content-Type': 'text/plain' }
plz response.end with 'Very Hello, Much World'
wow&
.plz listen with 3000

^ thanks doge
Seriously though, I can't believe someone actually took the time to make it.

More importantly, the open source static site / SPA framework I help work on, Roots, supports it (In the latest pre-release). :D

Oh yes, thanks g4143. F# is a really useful language, I often use it whenever I don't want to use c#, when my projects get to complicated.

it still amazes me these languages exist and yet no one, including myself, have heard of them.

Thats why i made this thread :) you should check them out...lots of great languages are hardly known about. I urge you to check out haskell. the tutorial is called "Learn you a haskell for great good" - but its in perfect english haha. its a purely functional language, and actually really cool.

These languages really aren't that unknown, the users of this forum are not exactly a prime demographic. :P
Hopefully this thread will inspire at least one person to look at a decent language...

These languages are present and used by some of the best coders in the world. I know for a fact that Ocaml and now F# are the preferred tools for certain software solutions.
