Codossa
Jump to navigation
Jump to search
Codossa is an esoteric programming language inspired by the linguistic experiment Viossa. It is an experiment for us to try to teach a programming language by writing programs with their expected inputs and outputs, without relying on natural language or other programming languages. Its aim is to be a functional, Turing-complete programming language.
Feel free to add any commands you desire, but please try to follow these rules:
- Please stick to the format:
program input (if required) -> output
- Please make the instructions implementable and avoid adding commands with implementation-defined/UB cases.
- Commands should be fairly simple to understand. Try not to have any arbitrary edge cases such as "read a character from input, then store it, unless it is 'e', then do nothing".
Other than that, have fun!
