TSTSSSL // Print top as charWhitespace Language Guide
Whitespace is an esoteric programming language that uses only spaces, tabs, and linefeeds as syntax. All non-whitespace characters are ignored, making programs invisible to the casual observer.
Primary Use Cases
- ▸Code obfuscation and stealth programs
- ▸Esolang research and experimentation
- ▸Interpreter-building demonstrations
- ▸Educational stack-based execution examples
- ▸Novelty programming challenges
Notable Features
- ▸Only whitespace characters have meaning
- ▸Stack-based instruction set
- ▸Heap access for memory operations
- ▸Visible characters are ignored
- ▸Fully Turing-complete despite minimalism
Origin & Creator
Whitespace was created by Edwin Brady and Chris Morris and released on April Fool’s Day in 2003.
Industrial Note
