gollark: Maybe just have a few hardcoded "esolang types" - symbol-y, stack-based, register machines, whatever.
gollark: But not actual original interesting ideas.
gollark: You could probably make Turi/BF-type things easily by just having some fixed list of commands and randomly assigning them symbols.
gollark: Like MetaGolfScript.
gollark: Hmm, idea: automated bad esolang generator which makes unoriginal boring eoslangs which are *sort of* different enough to be considered esolangs for the quota.
