qualm is an esoteric programming language designed and created by User:Wilfreddv. The name "qualm" was chosen to reflect the uneasy feeling you get when looking at it.
Examples
Hello, world!
v'Hello, world!:!
The v'...: stores the string Hello, world! into the working cell. The ! prints it out.
Truth machine
.i{w=1{!}
The `.` reads from standard input, and gets converted to an integer using `i`. If the result is `1`, it enters a loop that prints `1`. Since `w` isn't changed inside the loop, it will run infinitely.
Fibonacci sequence
v2>0v1>1{s1<=100{!iv'\n:!<1+<0s0}
This code will compute the Fibonacci sequence up until a 100.
