I believe this should be a joke language, since it seems to be on par with Deadfish Darkrifts (talk) 00:32, 12 August 2016 (UTC)

Are you really sure it's a joke language? It's a BF-derivative, since it uses BF-statements + and .. Although I might add it later. This is a proof that only 2 characters or less are needed to encode a string. Unary proves it better at 1 char, although it is decoded to BF, not ASCII. Anyways, if you run this golfed Python 2 program, it will show a unique string ID. I might create a language to decode such string IDs. 1-char-encoded strings would be really long.

import sys;i=p=0
for j in sys.stdin.read():i+=(ord(j)+1)*256**p;p+=1
print i

Anyways, I might add it to Joke Languages. Erikkonstas (talk) 14:44, 25 August 2016 (UTC)

I'm fairly sure it's a joke language. It's only functionality is "increment accumulator, module 256" and "output accumulator as string". This is actually less functionality for changing the accumulator value, with a slight addition (the fact it outputs as ASCII characters). Though, I may just be acting overly cynical :P Darkrifts (talk) 23:24, 25 August 2016 (UTC)
