Proposed translations
puzzle languages
A critical element of puzzle languages is providing an escape, a way to admit that the pretty solution is elusive, and it's time to get working code regardless of aesthetics.

(“...list of esoteric languages that are not of any interest except for potential humor value. Generally speaking, they are completely unusable for programming even in theory, trivial and less interesting variations…”)
One may wonder why a university course topic title would mention the esoteric languages first (!) and the normal languages as 2nd and 3rd. My explanation is that the students taking the course already know about the broad categories of programming languages (visual, text-based), therefore the professor has decided to start with a more entertaining aspect to engage the students' attention.
It may also start a debate whether and how such languages contribute something practical to IT.

The earliest, and still the canonical example of an esoteric language was INTERCAL, designed in 1972 by Don Woods and James M. Lyon, with the stated intention of being unlike any other programming language the authors were familiar with.
Glass is an esoteric programming language developed by Gregor Richards in 2005. It combines an unintuitive postfix notation with heavy object-orientation, requiring extensive juggling of a main stack combined with its object-oriented structure.
