Googles definition of assembler in germany: "a simple programming language" ... Seems legit

Go is a simple board game. Simple, because it has only a few rules and they are easy to understand. But if you want to master it, you have to dedicate your life to it from a young age.

The same reasoning applies to assembler being simple.

@Yeah69 lol...

Brainfuck and whitespace are even simpler, then

@ocab19 @linuxer4fun Microchip does much of its marketing around how simple it is to learn microchip assembly because it has so few instructions. It's BS (because you need series of instructions to do the same thing as with a single instruction on a more advanced controller). The instruction set is simple to learn, hard to do anything with.

@ocab19 and let apart Ook, the simplest of all xD

Clearly the very simplest is Unary.

Yeah, all these esoteric programming languages that you guys mention are just there to proof a point: the programming language can be Turing-complete, have a few simple instructions, but still be ridiculous to program with, for humans at least.

Imagine, any written software could theoretically be written in Ook, whitespace or Unary. In fact you'll just need to write a transpiler in order to translate existing sources into sources written in one of these esoteric languages. Best obfuscation ever :D

@Yeah69 lol... XD... 2h programming challenge: transpiler into any programming language xD
