Today we dive deep into the bewildering world of Turing Tarpits, those minimalist esoteric programming languages like Brainfuck and Malbolge that are Turing-complete yet maddeningly impractical. In this episode, host Ahmet Baysal and Aden Emre Unal strip back the laters of abstraction to explore how these bizarre languages illustrate fundamental truth about computation!
🏗️ The difference between theoretical capability and real‑world utility
🧩 Why minimalism in computation can both illuminate and torment
💡 How Turing Tarpits sharpen your understanding of abstraction, language design, and the limits of what machines can do
