Are there any restrictions on what programming languages you can use in a challenge, and if you created your own programming language and you wanted to submit it to a code challenge, does there need to be a working interpreter which actually executes the code or can there just be some set out syntax but no program which interprets the language? Thanks.

\$\begingroup\$ This question has been asked a bunch of times before - the post it was just marked as a duplicate of should provide a good starting point as to what counts as a 'language'. It's a decent question though. If you have any more questions about whether or not something counts as appropriate, feel free to join chat and ask. \$\endgroup\$– RikerNov 28, 2021 at 20:41

\$\begingroup\$ Okay. Then I will try to code an interpreter for my language. \$\endgroup\$– Binary198Nov 28, 2021 at 20:57
