"programming language"

This isn't a programming language, it's a character set. --GreyKnight (talk) 18:42, 15 May 2014 (UTC)

I don't think we should make a habit of adding fake citation needed tags to anything not as sublimely, bafflingly bad as Esme. On the other hand, it's true that this is even less a programming language than !!!Batch, and I don't think we should classify it as such. That doesn't mean it's necessarily off-topic for the wiki, though; perhaps it could class as a joke language (Text is precedent for that). ehird (talk) 18:50, 15 May 2014 (UTC)

Okay, I was already a bit grumpy beforehand so I might've been a little over-sarcastic with the citation tags.

I get the impression it's not a (deliberate?) joke so I'm not sure what it should be categorised as (does Category:Joke languages require intent?). Perhaps invent a Category:No execution. Certainly it can go in Category:String-rewriting paradigm and Category:Output only I guess. --GreyKnight (talk) 19:27, 15 May 2014 (UTC)
