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

- 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.
