Save the l33t language!

Awhile ago I posted an article on Esoteric Programming Languages. My friends and I had a great time chatting and exploring these hilarious, comical languages.

I didn't mention l33t in that post, and I probably should have. The way I actually stumbled upon Esoteric languages was from reading the Hello World Program article on Wikipedia, and seeing this l33t code:
// "Hello World" by Stephen McGreal.
// Note that the views expressed in this source code do not necessarily coincide with those of the author :o)

At first I thought it was vandalism, but I explored the l33t language page and discovered instead the world of Esoteric programming.
In case you're wondering, yes it is a real programming language, and yes, the above code actually does print "H3LL0 W0RLD!!!" to the console. The language itself, along with other Esoteric languages, is a joke.

Some people obviously didn't find it all that funny, because now the l33t language article is up for deletion on Wikipedia!
Read the article, and if you think it's worthy of being on Wikipedia (keeping in mind that Wikipedia contains articles on, amongst other things, most species of Pokemon, and lists of Pokemon categorised in eight different ways!) go over to the l33t language Votes for Deletion page and vote Keep. (Just add a new comment to that page with a * and the word "Keep" in bold.)

If you don't think it's worthy of Wikipedia, don't be a jerk and vote delete. This page isn't getting in anyone's way.

In other Esoteric news, I'm happy to announce that I've designed my own esoteric language, and am writing an interpreter in C++. It's going to be quite a fun language, turing complete and VERY esoteric! Stay tuned.
