gollark: Well, you can't just select random categories, you would need to actually program support for each of them.
gollark: Maybe just have a few hardcoded "esolang types" - symbol-y, stack-based, register machines, whatever.

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.
