Witeal

Witeal (pronounced Whittle), is an esoteric programming language similar to brainfuck, in the way of its oversimplicity. It stands for Why is This Eaven a Language. There are 9 identifiers in Witeal.

"<" - decrement cell by one
">" - increment cell by one (max 1000 cells, 0-999)
"+" - adds one to the cell
"-" - subtracts one from the cell
"[" - declares start of loop
"]" - declares end of loop
"&" - return boolean/integer on condition
"/" - use cell
"." - indicate skip in case of error

That's it! All the commands in the entire language right there. Here's a hello world program:

@                        start program
[                        initialize loop
[                        initialize second loop
-                        subtract one from cell
&/].                     loop if cell has anything in it
>].                      increment cell by one, then loop (if cell cannot be incremented, skip past loop)
[                        initialize loop
<].                      decrement cell by one, then loop (if cell cannot be decremented, skip past loop)
++++++++>                add 'H' to cell 0
+++++>                   add 'E' to cell 1
++++++++++++>            add 'L' to cell 2
++++++++++++>            add 'L' to cell 3
+++++++++++++++>         add 'O' to cell 4
[+].                     add ' ' to cell 5
+++++++++++++++++++++++> add 'W' to cell 6
+++++++++++++++>         add 'O' to cell 7
++++++++++++++++++>      add 'R' to cell 8
++++++++++++>            add 'L' to cell 9
++++>                    add 'D' to cell 10
-                        add new line to cell 11
[                        initialize loop
/                        print cell
>                        increment cell
&++++++++++++<].         loop if cell is 0-10 (less than 11)
[                        initialize infinite loop
]                        close infinite loop
_                        declare end of program

but this was written for readability. When writing code, it would be better to write it like this:

@[[-&/].>].[<].++++++++>+++++>++++++++++++>++++++++++++>++++++++++++++>[+].+++++++++++++++++++++++>+++++++++++++++>++++++++++++++++++>++
++++++++++>++++>-[/>&+++++++++++<].[]|

The output:

HELLO WORLD

This is a simple Cat program (accepts input, then repeats as output):

@                        introduce program
[                        initialize loop
[                        initialize second loop
-                        subtract one from cell
&/].                     loop if cell has anything in it
>].                      increment cell by one, then loop (if cell cannot be incremented, skip past loop)
[                        initialize loop
<].                      decrement cell by one, then loop (if cell cannot be decremented, skip past loop)
[                        initialize loop
/                        print empty cell, activating input
&->>].                   if the user did not press enter, increase cell and loop again
+                        if the user did press enter, clear cell
[                        initialize loop
/                        print cell
>                        increment cell
&+<].                    loop again (skip loop if cell is empty)
[                        initialize infinite loop
]                        close infinite loop
_                        declare end of program

or simply (or not so simply):

@[[-&/].>].[<].[/&->>].+[/>&+<].[]_

Here's a program that compares two strings:

@[[-&/].>].[<].++++++++++++++>+>+++++++++++++>+++++>->[/>&+++++<].[/&->>].+[/>&+<].[<].>>>>>&++++++++++++++++_>&++++++++_>&+++++++++_
>&++++++++++++_>+++++++++++++++++++>+>+++++++++++++>+++++>++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++>++++++++>+++++>++++++++++++++++++>+++++<<<<<
<<</>/>/>/>/>/>/>/>/.>++++++++>+++++++++</>/[]_

Its C# equivalent:

using system;
class Program
{
   public static void Main(String[] args)
   {
      Console.Write("NAME\n");
      string name = Console.ReadLine();
      if (name == "PHIL")
         Console.Write("SAME HERE\n");
      Console.Write("HI");
      while(true)
      {
      }
   }
}
