You'll probably want to find out what on earth an [[esoteric programming language]] is in the first place.
Then, you might want to explore the [[Language list|complete list of languages]], or find something more specific with the [[Esolang:Categorization|categories]].
You could also visit the [[joke language list]], which lists languages that can't even be programmed in.
Failing that, you could take a look at a [[Special:RandomInCategory/Languages|random language]].
You could also take a look at the list of [[Special:SpecialPages|special pages]].
After getting bored, you could visit the [[Esolang:Sandbox|Sandbox]] and have fun.

{{layout box|bg=#FEB|title=For creators|
If you've just created a language, you can create an article for it by typing its name into the search box, assuming the name is not already taken, but be sure to take a look at the [[Esolang:Help|help guide]] first. Then you should add it to the [[language list]] (or the [[joke language list]], as appropriate). '''DON'T''' create pages with the <tt>Esolang:</tt> prefix for your esolangs because that prefix is for general information about the wiki, but do remember to properly [[Esolang:Categorization|categorize]] your articles.
If you haven't got that far yet, take a look at the [[list of ideas]] for inspiration.
Otherwise, you could help out with a [[works in progress|work in progress]].
