Ook! is a programming language designed for orang-utans. Since the word "ook" can convey entire ideas, emotions, and abstract thoughts depending on the nuances of inflection, Ook! has no need of comments.

  • Ook! is truly sublime (or at least equisublime to BF). Some other good esoteric programming languages are Chef, Shakespeare, Gertrude, and HQ9+. Because these are, unfortuantely, unreadable by orang-utans, I recommend reading the example programmes first.
  • Excuse me, am I being blamed for something? Oh yes, the outsourcing of tech jobs to the San Diego Zoo. I'm just waiting for Jeff Foxworthy to promote a programming language for Rednecks. And don't call me Shirley.
  • Sorry - I should have said THE Librarian.
