Queuenanimous is an esolang by User:PythonshellDebugwindow.

Memory model

Queuenanimous uses an unbounded queue of unbounded signed integers.

Syntax

Like in brainfuck, each character of the program represents one command.

Commands

Dequeuing from an empty queue returns zero.

Command Effect
0 Enqueue zero
+ Dequeue N, enqueue N + 1
- Dequeue N, enqueue N - 1
> Dequeue N, enqueue N
[P] While loop: at each iteration, dequeue N, and break if N is zero; else run P and jump back to the start of this loop, dequeue N again, and so on

Computational class

Queuenanimous is Turing-complete as 3-cell brainfuck can be translated into it (no IO).

All programs must begin with 000000.

brainfuck Queuenanimous
+ [+0]+000[+0]>0[+0]>0
- []
> [+0]>0
< [+0]>0[+0]>0
[ [+0[+0]>0[+0]>0[+0]>0
] ]>0[+0]>0[+0]>0

This translation works by using pairs of integers to represent data as unary integers. Every 10 pair represents a 1 in unary and every 00 pair separates the integers from each other.
