Abusing JSON Esolang (Ajsone) is an esoteric programming language created by Alok Menghrajani. The language abuses JSON by using the JSON data format to represent everything: functions, variables, values, etc.
Examples
The following computes the factorial of 5.
{
"fact": {
"=if": {
"cond": {"=<=": {"in1": "=n", "in2": 1}},
"then": 1,
"else": {
"t": {"=-": {"in1": "=n", "in2": 1}},
"=*": {"in1": "=n", "in2": {"=fact": {"n": "=t"}}}}
}
},
"=fact": {"n": 5}
}
