"In addition to making fun of some “misfeatures” or abusable features of the languages, obfuscated code shows how powerful, flexible programming languages allow for creative coding (...) What all obfuscations have in common (...) is that they explore the play in a language, the free space that is available to programmers"
"weird languages (...) exploit not just the play of a particular language, but the play that is possible in programming language design itself. Weird programming languages are not designed for any real-world application or normal educational use; rather, they are intended to test the boundaries of programming language design. A quality they share with obfuscated code is that they often ironically comment on features of existing, traditional languages."
