Whitespace (programming language)

Creators Edwin Brady and Chris Morris

Whitespace is an esoteric programming language, designed by Edwin Brady and Chris Morris at the University of Durham. It has many advanced features which make it more flexible, while also being more minimal. But alas, the amount of time spent watching TV all day and not eating enough carrots means that humans no longer have the ability to read the language. Due to the esoteric nature of the language, only those with eyes that have evolved to see ultraviolet radiation are able to read the code.

The language is popular among trendy young programmers who like for not only their interface to be clean, but their code too. Popular IDEs include Notepad, Emacs as well as the typewriter. Bjarne Stroustrup dabbles in this language when he isn't busy sprinkling strange characters over anything he can find; but his coding style is often not very readable due to the lack of frequent Whitespace. Bjarne is, however, progressing through code academy in an effort to remedy this.
