Top 4 difficult languages

COW 

     It is the undoubtedly the most difficult programming language as well as the funniest one indeed. The programming language was developed in 2003 by Sean Heber, and hence, it is outdated. The idea behind the development of COW was to experiments with diffident ideas the creator had in mind. Surprisingly, the programming language was always meant to be difficult and not just that, it was not meant to be used for any practical purpose at all. COW is based on the languages used in the Turing machine. Therefore, all the calculations that can be done on Turing machine, can be done on COW. The funniest part is that all the instructions have to be written with the keyword ‘moo’ which is the sound of a cow. If you write any other character or word, it will automatically be considered as a comment.

Intercal

      The programming language was created by Don Woods and James Lyon when they were students at Princeton University. You may as well die trying to learn the programming language and dare to code in it. The attempt was actually to make the programming language user-friendly, and therefore, the creators included keywords like Read out, Ignore, Please, Forget, and likewise. The funny thing is that if your code does not have enough Please keywords, the code will not be considered polite and it will show an error message and refuse to run. On the other hand, if you use that keyword, it will be considered excessively polite, and you cannot run it for the same reason. Therefore, if you think that you can learn any programming language from scratch and create awesome things out of it, you are welcome to try it.

Whitespace

       What more can you think of a programming language that is created as an April Fool’s joke? The programming language was released on 1st April 2003 by Edwin Brady and Chris Morris. The instructions and coding procedure made everyone think that it is meant to be a joke. But only a coder knows that it is a pain in the rear side to even think of the language. There are no keywords, and you have to use only whitespaces, tabs, and linefeeds to write your code. If you write any character, it gets ignored by the compiler. Well, it could be the most encrypted programming language in the history as only the creators can write codes in it.

Chef 

     If you are a cook, you might just love the programming language. The codes appear to be some cooking recipe and the principles listed on Chef’s documentation are the funniest. Some of the principles state that program recipes should not only be right to generate output but should be easy to prepare and look delicious. Not just that, the program recipe should be tailor-made for cooks with different budgets. The keywords are all the names of the ingredients of cooking. You got to see some of the sample codes in the programming language, and you might discover the eternal source of laughter.
