Have you ever tried programming in Malbolge? I have read some of the top links returned by google, here, here, here, and here. I am very intrigued by this prospect, and would like to start playing around.

For those of you who have dabbled in Malbolge before, what experiences did you have? Did you have any success? How did you get started, and where did you end up?

Thanks!

Malbolge is an esoteric language like LOLCode or Whitespace. These languages are created to demonstrate a hypothesis or for fun, among other reasons. It's not unreasonable to develop using it, but the practicality is debatable.

I think a truly gifted developer could write Project Euler solutions in Malbolge. There's a previous question here on SO about the merits of learning an esoteric language.
