Develop a userscript to hide esolangesoteric and/or golfing language submissions from the UI, clientside.

I'm one of those users who is put off by the use of golfing languages. Codegolf has some really fun programming puzzles, but it's not fun to wade through all the esolangesoteric and golfing language answers. I can't read them and I really don't care about those languages.

What would help me is if someone were to develop a userscript that users can install (with e.g. tampermonkey and/or from https://stackapps.com/) to just hide all the submissions which are using esolangsesoteric and/or golfing languages, so they're out of the way.

I have zero interest to learn a golfing language. I do enjoy to see clever hacks in well known languages such as Python. A userscript or stackapp would allow people who are otherwise interested in this site to opt out of the esolang noise in their UI, without detracting in anyway for the users who do enjoy these languages. The popular convention of putting the language name in the top of an answer should make the filtering fairly easy to implement in jsjavascript. It doesn't really matter if the scriptuserscript is not 100% accurate, it just has to work goodwell enough to make browsing the site fun again.

For an example of what it might look like, here is a similar userscript already implemented (not mine) that hides questions from rep 1 users, which I find greatly improves the experience of browsing the main feed on stackoverflow.
