No, really, a programming language for bovines: http://www.bigzaphod.org/cow/
Written so that any cow can code (they only know one word, so it's got variations of that word as instructions)
It's about time they caught up with the Buffalo (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffalo_buffalo_Buffalo_buffalo_buffalo_buffalo_Buffalo_buffalo)...
esoteric programming languages are esoteric.
and hey on that note, why not give this one (http://www.bigzaphod.org/whirl/) a Whirl!
http://www.bigzaphod.org/whirl/kang-99.html
"The Whirl programming language has only two instructions: 0 and 1. While the Whirl Team was tempted to build a compiler that converted text source files of 0s and 1s into very small binary files with a sequence of 0/1 bits, the idea was thwarted at the last minute by a sudden attack of laziness. Maybe it'll happen later on when Whirl becomes adopted by the enterprise market to replace the aging Java platform." <-- the only language where beer makes you a better programmer?

No matter what the language, beer makes you a better programmer in it. Well, depending on how much beer you've had... http://xkcd.com/323/
Beer-powered competency seems to be on a bell curve though ;)
Not that I'm speaking from experience or anything
...of course practise makes perfect too... ;)

should be called The Hemingway Theorem ... apparently he'd get slightly sloshed and write brilliantly, but if sober or drunk he couldn't write at all.
Hah, that's pretty apt
I could not find the previous "Top Programming Languages of 20xx" that I *know* is on RW somewhere.
So... replying to this instead. Because cows.
