Recursive is an esolang that is recursive.
Commands
Each program must contain exactly one command, and there is only one possible command.
Command | Action |
---|---|
The program's existence | Run the current program as a program in Recursive. |
Non-existent programs are undefined behavior, although the most convenient action to take is to run the program in Recursive.
Example programs
Infinite loop
// This program is an infinite loop.
Self-interpreter
// This program is a self-interpreter. // It first compiles any input into a more convenient representation. // Each command in the input is represented with a copy of this program. // Then, the compiled program is interpreted as Recursive.
Crash the interpreter (for some interpreters)
// This program crashes in this Python interpreter: // def run_recursive(program): // if program is program: # if program exists, run program in Recursive // run_recursive(program)
