Thue ( TOO-ay) is an esoteric programming language invented by John Colagioia in early 2000. It is a meta-language that can be used to define or recognize Type-0 languages from the Chomsky hierarchy. Because it is able to define languages of such complexity, it is also Turing-complete itself. Read more on Wikipedia...


Example from Riju:
a::=~Hello, world! ::= a
Example from hello-world:
a::=~Hello World ::= a
Example from Wikipedia:
1_::=1++ 0_::=1 01++::=10 11++::=1++0 _0::=_ _1++::=10 ::= _1111111111_
