##Software and Specs questions for esoteric/golfing languages

Software and Specs questions for esoteric/golfing languages


###Examples:###

Examples:

  • Where can I find an interpreter for [esoteric language]?
  • Is there an official specification for [esoteric language]?

Arguments:

###Arguments:### For: Esoteric languages, being esoteric and all, can be hard to find interpreters for. Brainf[][]k and other very common esolangs may be easier, but try googling "interpreter for Möbius" and see what you come up with.

For: Esolangs.org, the top result for "esoteric programming languages" on Google, is not meant to be a complete manual for languages. It provides an idea of the language, and theoretically provides references to other, more complete websites. However, for instance, the page on Objective LOLCODE provides no references to external specifications.

Against: Has nothing to do with programming puzzles or code golf, only esoteric languages which by themselves are off-topic.

Against: The use cases for these questions would be very few as most people golf with more common esolangs.
