Jussef Swissen
Jussef Swissen(the name he uses is a pseudonym) is an inactive(he barely did any programming between 2014 and 2019) programmer/esoteric programming langauge enthusiast who came up with PERPLEX in 2014, which is an over-complicated version of BASIC; its complication is simply the replacement of short BASIC commands to longer(and more complicated) synonyms/replacements. It is a joke language, and the publishment of its definition did not gain much attraction.
He has also defined the Swissen Machine in 2019, a Esoteric computer architecture that does not require state transitions. In the Swissen Machine's criteria, it shows that the Swissen Machine can not do any logical computations, and it only runs on one state, which is very different from most computers architectures, which primarily operates on modifyable memory; e.g. based on bits, trits, etc. The publishment of the Swissen Machine has gained slightly more attraction, in comparison with the attention he got with his previous PERPLEX. Someone(User: A) thought that the definition of the Swissen Machine is invalid, and they modified Hugo to prove it. It has been shown later that the Swissen Machine contradicts with its own definition.
The definition of Hugo: "It implements a Swissen Machine using the environmental factor of time and End Of Files. A valid Hugo program would consist of only one number, 1. The interpreter for this language would take exactly 1 second to process each 1 that is entered in the Hugo program. Depending on the amount of seconds taken to process the entire program, it prints an ASCII character whose decimal value is equivalent to the number of seconds taken to run the program."
