Pancake Stack is a stack-based esoteric programming language created by User:JWinslow23 in 2013, in which programs require you to manipulate a stack of pancakes.
Syntax
The pancake stack starts out as empty.
| Code | Meaning |
|---|---|
Put this X pancake on top! |
Push the word length of X on top of the stack, i.e. "wonderful" would push 9. |
Eat the pancake on top! |
Pop the top value off of the stack, and discard it. |
Put the top pancakes together! |
Pop off the top two values, add them, and push the result. |
Give me a pancake! |
Input a number value and push it on the stack. |
How about a hotcake? |
Input an ASCII character and push its value on the stack. |
Show me a pancake! |
Output the top value on the stack as an ASCII character, but don't pop it. |
Take from the top pancakes! |
Pop off the top two values, subtract the second one from the first one, and push the result. |
Flip the pancakes on top! |
Pop off the top two values, swap them, and push them back. |
Put another pancake on top! |
Pop off the top value and push it twice. |
[label] |
Defines a label to go back to (Can also define a comment, if needed). When you go back to the label, it goes to the line number (1 indexed) of the top value of the stack when the label was defined. |
If the pancake isn't tasty, go over to "label". |
Go to label [label] if the top value is 0.
|
If the pancake is tasty, go over to "label". |
Same as above, except go if the top value is not 0. |
Put syrup on the pancakes! |
Increment all stack values. |
Put butter on the pancakes! |
Increment only the top stack value. |
Take off the syrup! |
Decrement all stack values. |
Take off the butter! |
Decrement only the top stack value. |
Eat all of the pancakes! |
Terminate the program. |

Cat program
Put this old pancake on top! [CAT] Eat the pancake on top! Give me a pancake! Show me a pancake! If the pancake is tasty, go over to "CAT". Eat all of the pancakes!
This is for numeric input. For ASCII input, replace "Give me a pancake!" with "How about a hotcake?"
Computational class
Pancake Stack is Turing complete assuming stack values are unbounded, as it can easily simulate a two-register Minsky machine using the top two stack values as registers.
Alternatively, if stack values are bounded, then Pancake Stack is not Turing complete, as it can be simulated by a push-down automaton. Some trick is needed to support incrementing/decrementing all values simultaneously, e.g. one could keep track of a separate value (in the automaton state) to be implicitly added to all stack values.
