is it a programming language?

Post subject: 
yeah Laughing its a programming language. the syntax is a continues string of 8 different characters Twisted Evil purpose is to have the program be as small as possible... compiler itself is 200 bytes Shocked

code:

//example that prints Hello World!

>+++++++++[<++++++++>-]<.>+++++++[<++++>-]<+.+++++++..+++.>>>++++++++[<++++>-]
<.>>>++++++++++[<+++++++++>-]<---.<<<<.+++.------.--------.>>+.

that is crazy, has anyone ever done anything productive with it?

edit:
would that mean that it would be really easy to parse everything then?

Probaby, though that's not what it was created for. Wink

Any language that is composed of tokens that are never longer than one character is really easy to parse. Wink

And for fun, "Hello, World!" in Befunge

code:
                v
>v"Hello world!"<
,:
^_a,@


The real challenge is writing quines, which if memory serves, are programs that print their own source.

It was essentially an academic experiment.

yeah, ive been looking into it, the c compiler is so damn short. but i tried compiling it and it didn't work, i don't know what im supposed to do with it. i want a interpretor or compiler but i can't figure how to do it.

Yeah, I got that, then realized they left their includes out of the source. Add the following to the top of the file:

code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>


I'm currently looking at refactoring the code a bit.

I've attached a zip file with the source code and an executable compiled with MinGW.
