Zero-Width

A turing-complete programming language using only zero-width unicode characters, inspired by brainfuck and whitespace. Currently a (possibly incomplete) implementation for an interpreter has been written in rust, with more languages planned.

Specification:

• Cells are on an infinite 1-dimensional plane.

  • The plane starts of with length of 1, but expands as you move left or right farther than before.

• Each cell can hold an unsigned 8-bit integer.

  • If a cell overflows (goes beyond its max capacity), it resets to 0.
  • You can only increment a cell, if you wish to decrement you must increment until the cell resets to 0.

• The instructions are composed of the following zero-width unicode characters:

  • U+180E - move left
  • U+200B - move right
  • U+200C - increment
  • U+200D - input integer from STDIN and add it to current cell
  • U+200D x2 - print current cell to STDOUT
  • U+FEFF - while current cell is not 0, execute until next instance of U+FEFF

• All other characters are considered comments.
