I stumbled upon the Pike programming language this morning. I had not heard about it before and have never used it but it does look interesting.

Have you ever programmed in a lesser known programming language? What was your experience of it?

I can't say I know any lesser know language but I did try write some stuff in Go and Flutter, little more in Flutter.

I choose Flutter since it is recomended from some persons to built mobile apps.
It was good experience but I didn't have much time to study it. For using I like online compilers but now I can't remember where it was.

For Go language it was show on my interest list since it was made by Google so I check it since Google's big effect can send Go on wider use than just enthusiast.
On W3schools you learn Go. I was there plus there are some quizzes and online compiler.
Most interesting part in Go I consider this line of code:

Code: Select all

var a, b, c, d int = 1, 3, 5, 7

Usually you must call each variable and it's value in separate lines

Thanks mrki444, I wasn't familiar with Flutter. I've a friend who uses Go in his work with a Cloud Computing company, it does seem to be getting more popular. I have not used it at all and it's good to know you can learn it on W3Schools, thanks for that.

What I know, I will never learn Brainf*ck programming language.

Code: Select all

[ as the cell will be cleared by the loop
 >++ Add 2 to Cell #2
 >+++ Add 3 to Cell #3
 >+++ Add 3 to Cell #4
 >+ Add 1 to Cell #5
 <<<<- Decrement the loop counter in Cell #1
 ] Loop till Cell #1 is zero; number of iterations is 4
 >+ Add 1 to Cell #2
 >+ Add 1 to Cell #3
 >- Subtract 1 from Cell #4
 >>+ Add 1 to Cell #6
 [<] Move back to the first zero cell you find; this will
 be Cell #1 which was cleared by the previous loop
 <- Decrement the loop Counter in Cell #0
 ] Loop till Cell #0 is zero; number of iterations is 8
 
 The result of this is:
 Cell No : 0 1 2 3 4 5 6
 Contents: 0 0 72 104 88 32 8
 Pointer : ^
 
 >>. Cell #2 has value 72 which is 'H'
 >---. Subtract 3 from Cell #3 to get 101 which is 'e'
 +++++ ++..+++. Likewise for 'llo' from Cell #3
 >>. Cell #5 is 32 for the space

And this language have even derivation called Ook

I hadn't heard of those mrki444 Don't think I will be learning either of them in the near future. It's difficult enough learning regular programming languages
