SMETANA programming language
SMETANA, standing for Self-Modifying, Extremely Tiny AutomatoN Application, is an esoteric programming language by Chris Pressey. Here is a sample program written in SMETANA:
Step 1. Go to step 4. Step 2. Swap step 3 with step 5. Step 3. Go to step 6. Step 4. Swap step 1 with step 6. Step 5. Go to step 2. Step 6. Swap step 1 with step 2.
SMETANA might seem to be a completely useless language, but actually the initial order of lines in a program could be used as input and the order of lines at the end of program execution could serve as output. SMETANA is succeeded by SMITH.
