Malbolge programming language

Malbolge is a public domain programming language invented by Ben Olmestead in 1998.

The peculiarity of Malbolge is that is has been conceived to be the worst possible programming language. It takes constructs from Intercal and Brainfuck, but adds a lot painstaking constructs of its own.

The difficulty of programming in Malbolge is easily understood when one realizes that the first Malbolge program ever written came to birth only 2 years after the invention of the language! Moreover, it has not been really written by a human being : instead,it has been generated by a genetic algorithm implemented in Perl.
