A fascinating and thought-provoking tour through programming languages. Strange Code guides you through some mostly forgotten languages-such as Forth, SNOBOL, and CLIPS-before exploring more experimental languages-such as Piet-where your source code is an image. I particularly enjoyed Firefly, a language for the BBC micro:bit, created especially for the book.
