esoteric, visual and text-based programming languages Explanation: Esoteric languages (esolangs) is a quite well-known concept and practice in programming. It is used for experiments, training/learning and for humour. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esoteric_programming_language Its subcategory are joke languages. https://esolangs.org/wiki/Joke_language_list (“...list of esoteric languages that are not of any interest except for potential humor value. Generally speaking, they are completely unusable for programming even in theory, trivial and less interesting variations…”) One may wonder why a university course topic title would mention the esoteric languages first (!) and the normal languages as 2nd and 3rd. My explanation is that the students taking the course already know about the broad categories of programming languages (visual, text-based), therefore the professor has decided to start with a more entertaining aspect to engage the students' attention. It may also start a debate whether and how such languages contribute something practical to IT. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1508581/is-there-any-prac... Example sentence(s):
