Iota and Jot

From Free net encyclopedia

Current revision

Iota and its successor Jot are Turing tarpits, esoteric programming languages that are designed to be as small as possible but still Turing-complete. Each uses two symbols and involves two operations, with simple denotational semantics defined in terms of lambda calculus. Zot is an extension of Jot that includes input and output mechanisms.
