Piet and other animals
Seeing as someone down there mentioned a program in "just" 4k, these are always a good laugh if you're as dull as me - esoteric programming languages.
* BIT - a language that treats all data like C treats strings.
* Chef - a language where the programs produce magnificent meals.
* Haifu - a language based on Eastern philosophy and artistic values.
* HQ9++ - a language which extends the elegance of HQ9+ to the object-oriented paradigm.
* Ook! - a language designed for orang-utans.
* Piet - a language where the programs are works of modern art.
* Whenever - a language with no sense of urgency.
* ZOMBIE - a language designed for evil necromancers.
A delightful example of a valid Piet program:
Or not!
Have an Ook! example instead.
Ook. Ook? Ook. Ook. Ook. Ook. Ook. Ook. Ook. Ook. Ook. Ook. Ook. Ook.
Ook! Ook? Ook! Ook! Ook. Ook? Ook. Ook. Ook. Ook. Ook. Ook. Ook! Ook?
Ook! Ook! Ook? Ook. Ook? Ook. Ook. Ook. Ook. Ook. Ook. Ook. Ook. Ook.
Ook. Ook? Ook. Ook? Ook? Ook! Ook? Ook. Ook? Ook! Ook? Ook. Ook. Ook.

Will have a look at these. Lots of em sound fun.

Well there's a fist time for everything. Postfix... good choice I dallied with exim for a couple of years, but postfix is prolly my fave MTA. yes. I have a favourite MTA.
if you get stuck, come over to linuxquestions.org and I'll ignore your post there...

And I'd still rather use half of those
instead of PHP.

what's wrong with PHP compared to the horror of ASP?

At least ASP isn't used all that much these days -
not that ASP is a language in any case (my web host offers ASP but the only language available is Perl for that matter).
PHP is just... weird. Why does $x = $y copy by value in PHP 4 but copy by reference in PHP 5? If $a = 0 and $b = 'hello' then $a == false and $b == true but also $a == $b (but $a !== $b). Why is html_entity_decode the inverse function of htmlentities? Why do $needle and $haystack swap positions in every other function? The less said about magic_quotes_gpc and register_globals - and hosts that switch these on and don't let you switch them off - the better.
At least the above esoteric languages are weird by design. ;-)
