"Hey guys, I'm thinking of Befunge or Malbolge for weird programming languages. Befunge is a 2D language where you write code on a grid and use arrow keys to execute it, while Malbolge is designed to be the most difficult language to learn and is pretty much the opposite of intuitive. Both are super niche, but kinda awesome in their own way."

"Dude, I've had some weird conversations with friends about Malbolge. It's like the opposite of any other programming language, where the keys are designed in reverse order. Who thought that was a good idea, lol."

"Dyna is definitely up there. I've seen some weird stuff, but this language that uses music composition as a means of programming is straight fire. Anyone know more about it?"

"Ah, you gotta check out Whitespace. It's a crazy language where all the syntax is based on the whitespace between code – no actual keywords or punctuation needed. Someone actually created a real compiler for it, too."

"Dude, I've heard of Whitespace, a language that uses whitespace characters to define syntax. It's literally just empty space that tells the compiler what to do. Sounds crazy, but I'm curious to see it in action."

"Haha, gotta give a shoutout to Malbolge. It's a language designed to be as hard to use as possible, with the alphabet and commands arranged in reverse order of their ASCII values. Been meaning to give it a try just for the novelty factor."

"Yo, gotta give a shoutout to INTERCAL - it's a language that intentionally goes against the conventions of traditional programming languages. Like, it's designed to be as counterintuitive as possible, making it a hoot to try and learn. Anyone else tried their hand at INTERCAL?"

I gotta give a shoutout to Clean, it's a language that's all about functional programming without any side effects. It's like, if a function modifies state, it's not a function in Clean's world. Really weird to wrap my head around at first, but it's definitely an interesting concept.
