Lord Zeus, please create a function called printBeerInsideLoop! - Daniel Temkin at !!Con 2024
0Lord Zeus, defender of travelers and of those far from home, please create a function called printBeerInsideLoop with parameter n!
In the ELIZA effect, we temporarily read a natural language system as sentient. Usually this sentient being is subservient to us and we are in control. The Olympus programming language flips this power dynamic. Our code succeeds through the will of the gods!
Daniel makes esolangs – programming languages as experiments or self-expression – including FatFinger, Folders, and Entropy. His blog on the subject, esoteric.codes, won the 2014 ArtsWriters.org grant from Creative Capital and was exhibited at ZKM. He has spoken on esolangs at the New Museum, SIGGRAPH, SXSW, and Media Art Histories and written for Hyperallergic and Outland. He published an aesthetic theory of the medium for Digital Humanities Quarterly in 2023.
