05AB1E
05AB1E is a code-golf programming language created around 2015 by Adnan. The goal of the language is to make programs as short as possible, even if the code looks strange or unreadable. It uses a stack-based execution model and many operations are represented by single Unicode characters.
Language Type: Code Golf
Difficulty: Hard
Typing: Dynamic
Execution Style: Stack-based / Implicit output
Example (Hello World):
"Hello, World!"
This prints automatically because the language assumes output.
How It Works:
- Most instructions are one character.
- The language uses a stack instead of variables.
- Printing is automatic, so you don’t need print statements.
Where to Run:
You can run 05AB1E at TIO.run online.
Should You Learn It?
- Useful for jobs: No
- Useful for fun and challenges: Yes
- Good for readable code: No
Summary:
05AB1E exists for people who enjoy writing the shortest possible solution. It’s fast, clever, and chaotic. The more you use it, the stranger it feels — but that’s the point.
