Hey #FOSDEM and #GPN folks: I’ll be talking #esolangs this Friday night at ZKM; a reading and lively discussion of esoteric programming. Free, 6pm, Karlsruhe! zkm.de/en/2026/02/d...

My #FOSDEM talk as summarized in image by Jeroen Heijmans over on mastodon

Includes many esolangs I discussed as examples of three genres of esolang (Turing Tarpit, multicoding, and non-English [standing in for many others critical of tech defaults]).
