Ook! is a constructed language.


Language sources

Ook! is essentially isomorphic to the well-known esoteric language BrainF***, but has even fewer syntax elements.

Design principles

  • A programming language should be writable and readable by orang-utans.
  • To this end, the syntax should be simple, easy to remember, and not mention the word "monkey".
  • Bananas are good.
