Obscure - The brand-new, Turing-Complete, easy to use programming language

DifferentDance8

Do you mind if I write an article on Obscure on esolangs.org? Because, after all this is technically an esolang.

i don't think it is.

Although, even the creator of the language herself (is it a her?) considers it an esolang so

Or just ignore file extension and go by MIME type (application/obscure, text/plain)

I don't think that would work on all platforms – Windows, for example, doesn't store the MIME type of files.

There's a fuzzy line in between practical programming languages (python) and esoteric ones (brainf)
Obscure is right in between– it is a language that works exactly like any other regular programming language, but its syntax is so obscure (e.g. you have to use the “add” command on a newline because expressions don't support 1 + 1) that I guess it can be considered an esoteric one, because it was made as a joke anyway and not for practicability. (hence its name, Obscure–it was meant to be an obscure programming language)

Can't publish it, but I wrote a short draft for the article.

'''Obscure''' is an esoteric programming language designed to operate as fully functional & Turing-complete language, yet with unconventional coding practices. Obscure was made to have a very simple and short list of functions that developers can use to create complex and large projects.

= History =
The Obscure programming language was originally published on the [https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/777854/ Scratch Forums] on the 1st of September, 2024. It quickly became one of the fastest-growing discussion topics on the Advanced Topics forum, gaining over 200 posts in less than 5 days and 6,000 views in its first 2 weeks of release.

The language was originally released as a beta version that quickly evolved with feedback from the community. Users have created impressive projects with Obscure, such as a fully working [https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/post/8123260/ brainf interpreter], pushing the limits of the programming language.

Is this another one of your “nevermind” things, like when you said “Nothing is permanent” on my topic and I couldn't figure out what you meant? (Or was that even you?)

“Nothing Is Permermant” That was @A-MARIO-PLAYER not me (@endyourenite / @draked12)

Wayy too long, something like .ob or .obs would be good
File extensions aren't limited-one of Scratch's file types is .sprite3

I know, but short file extensions are easier to type out

And why might you need to type them out?

We are aware, however shorter file extensions would look neater, and be easier to type if one needed to.
project.obsc looks better then project.obscure, if you asked me.

yeah but let's remember that this is an obscure programming language

for some reason, https://obscure.glitch.me/contest isn't deleted, it is just hidden.

And may you explain why an obscure programming language cannot have a file extension which looks good?
