Text is a programming language created by User:Smallhacker. Whilst not many people have heard of Text, almost all ASCII files, including readmes, and interpreted programming language source code files, are actually written in Text.
Description
All Text programs output their own source code, thus every program is a quine.
Despite the language being very young, there's already A BIG AMOUNT OF of interpreters for Text, perhaps the most famous of which is Notepad. On Unix-derived systems, the traditional interpreter is 'cat'. On Windows, the traditional interpreter is the 'type' command.
The file extension for Text programs is .txt. (It's just a plain text file.) However, many Text programs omit the file extension.
Some relatively recent Text interpreters, such as TextEdit on the Macintosh, add support for 2D graphics.
Given that books and paper are fully capable of executing Text programs, they're actually probably some the first computers ever invented.
Examples
Hello World
Hello, World!
FizzBuzz

Quine
In this Esolang, all programs will be a quine. In other words, it don't care what did you wrote, it just copy your input to STDOUT.

Never gonna give you up
(Intro) IV-V-III-VI-IV-V-III-VI-I-... We're no strangers to love You know the rules and so do I (do I) A full commitment's what I'm thinking of You wouldn't get this from any other guy I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling Gotta make you understand Never gonna give you up Never gonna let you down Never gonna run around and desert you Never gonna make you cry Never gonna say goodbye Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you We've known each other for so long Your heart's been aching, but you're too shy to say it (say it) Inside, we both know what's been going on (going on) We know the game and we're gonna play it And if you ask me how I'm feeling Don't tell me you're too blind to see Never gonna give you up Never gonna let you down Never gonna run around and desert you Never gonna make you cry Never gonna say goodbye Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you Never gonna give you up Never gonna let you down Never gonna run around and desert you Never gonna make you cry Never gonna say goodbye Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you We've known each other for so long Your heart's been aching, but you're too shy to say it (say it) Inside, we both know what's been going on (going on) We know the game and we're gonna play it I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling Gotta make you understand Never gonna give you up Never gonna let you down Never gonna run around and desert you Never gonna make you cry Never gonna say goodbye Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you Never gonna give you up Never gonna let you down Never gonna run around and desert you Never gonna make you cry Never gonna say goodbye Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you Never gonna give you up Never gonna let you down Never gonna run around and desert you Never gonna make you cry Never gonna say goodbye Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
Compilers
Here are a few compilers for Text:
echo - Present as a statement in some script language like Bash and Batch, executes a statement of a Text program
copy con - Present as a statement in Batch, executes a Text program written by the user in stdin and writes its output to a text file
type - Executes a Text program (from a source code file)
Even the recent Ideone.com online multiple language compiler can compile Text Programs.
Its example program is:
Charlie bit me!
And it provides an example stdin:
That really hurts!
The application returns the value:
Charlie bit me!
Development of a compiler
In fact it is really easy to make a Text compiler. Here are some examples. The first (made in Pascal) reads a Text statement and executes it. The second one (made in console VB.NET) reads from the command line a txt file and executes it (like type):
Pascal
program textcompiler; uses crt; var a:string; begin a:='Here is a sample Text statement' // read the Text statement write(a); // execute the Text program end.
VB.NET
Class TextCompiler Sub Main() Console.WriteLine(My.Computer.FileSystem.ReadAllText(Command())) 'executes the Text program inside a text file passed in the command line End Sub End Class
AWK

~:1+!#@_,
,[.,]
C
This is a version that reads from text files, not from the console.
#include <stdio.h>
int main(int a, char *v[])
{
FILE *f=fopen(v[1],"r");
char c;
while((c=fgetc(f))!=EOF)
putchar(c);
}
Python
print(__import__("sys").stdin.read())
{🕳️}
引入 sys 库中的所有模块。 定义字符串变量 filename ，然后初始化为 "Example.txt" 。 定义字符串变量 content 。 打开文件 filename 。 从 STDIN 中读取 filename ，然后存储至 content 。 输出 content 的值。

Development environments
The most popular development environment for Text is named Notepad, and comes default with Windows. It is simple, yet powerful, compiling and running the program as you type it.
Other development environments for Text include Leafpad (Linux), Wordpad (Windows), Notepad Desmos (Desmos), Emacs (Cross-platform), VSCode (Cross-platform) and Vim (Cross-platform).
