Child

This article is not detailed enough and needs to be expanded. Please help us by adding some more information.

Child is an esoteric programming language in the vein of Brainfuck. It is cell-based like Bf, but it is oriented to support data processing.

There is an input string and an output buffer. A few commands read input character-by-character, allowing end-of-data detection. The program takes the input string and the program as shell parameters.

The interpreter has a "register" which catches the hexadecimal numbers found in the program. "2a+" adds the byte 0x2A to the current cell, for example.

The implementation is placed under the terms of Tcl/Tk's BSD-style license.
