| https://esoteric.codes/blog/100-rabbits | |
| 100 Rabbits | https://esoteric.codes/blog/100-rabbits |
| Perhaps best known for their esoteric livecoding language ORCΛ, 100 Rabbits (Rekka and Devine) have a creative practice that seamlessly crosses from the esoteric to the practical. Living on a boat and relying primarily on solar energy, they create their own tools to avoid the impracticalities and wastefulness of commercial software. Their work has a rare coherence of thought and design that bridges art, code, and life. | https://esoteric.codes/blog/100-rabbits |
| ais523 (2011 Interview) | https://esoteric.codes/blog/interview-with-ais523 |

| Allison Parrish | https://esoteric.codes/blog/interview-with-allison-parrish |
| Allison Parrish is a poet and programmer who researches and makes art about language, often in the context of computation and the Internet. She is the creator of the everyword Twitterbot and the author most recently of Articulations, a book of generative poems from an algorithm which extracts linguistic features from over two million lines of public domain poetry, then traces fluid paths between the lines based on their similarities. | https://esoteric.codes/blog/interview-with-allison-parrish |
| https://esoteric.codes/blog/a-look-at-algorithmic-theatre-with-yesterday | |
| Annie Dorsen | https://esoteric.codes/blog/a-look-at-algorithmic-theatre-with-yesterday |

| Ben Olmstead | https://esoteric.codes/blog/interview-with-ben-olmstead |
| Ben is an early esolanger, whose Malbolge, a language created in a single afternoon, is still considered the most challenging to code; he gives insight into the early days of esolangs. | https://esoteric.codes/blog/interview-with-ben-olmstead |
| Chris Pressey | https://esoteric.codes/blog/interview-with-chris-pressey |
| Chris has been making esolangs before they had a name; he helped foster the community through the mailing list where much of the early discussion took place, and is responsible for the enormously influential Befunge language, among many others. | https://esoteric.codes/blog/interview-with-chris-pressey |
| https://esoteric.codes/blog/david-madore | |
| David Madore | https://esoteric.codes/blog/david-madore |
| David Madore is responsible for Unlambda, one of the best-known and most-confounding esolangs of all time. An accomplished mathematician, Madore also produced languages that cross from natural numbers into infinity, but may be incompatible with our Universe | https://esoteric.codes/blog/david-madore |
| David Morgan-Mar | https://esoteric.codes/blog/david-morgan-mar |
| David has created some of the best-known esolangs, including Chef and Piet, which exress code within other rule-based systems, and Whenever, a language that overturns a key element of how code is controlled. | https://esoteric.codes/blog/david-morgan-mar |
| Don Woods | https://esoteric.codes/blog/don-woods |
| Before brainfuck and Befunge, there was INTERCAL. Don Woods discusses the creation of this pioneering esolang and how he looks at geek culture today. | https://esoteric.codes/blog/don-woods |
| Eric S. Raymond | https://esoteric.codes/blog/interview-with-eric-s-raymond |

| https://esoteric.codes/blog/evan-buswell | |
| Evan Buswell | https://esoteric.codes/blog/evan-buswell |

| https://esoteric.codes/blog/jon-corbett | |
| Jon Corbett | https://esoteric.codes/blog/jon-corbett |
| Corbett discusses how Cree#, which began as a "Processing for Indigenous Languages," grew into a suite of tools: a full-fledged Cree-based programming language, associated keyboard, and a toolkit to bring other Indigenous languages into computation | https://esoteric.codes/blog/jon-corbett |
| Keymaker | https://esoteric.codes/blog/keymaker |
| Keymaker created one of my favorite languages, Unnecessary. In this, the very first interview for esoteric.codes (from January 2011), Keymaker discusses his work in esolanging and in brainfuck programming | https://esoteric.codes/blog/keymaker |
| https://esoteric.codes/blog/martin-ender | |
| Martin Ender | https://esoteric.codes/blog/martin-ender |
| Martin Ender creates 2D languages of unusual topologies, with code arranged in hexagons, triangles, or using registers arranged in icosohedral structures. We discuss the aesthetics of Funges and golfing languages, and how to both make a complex esolang clear enough for programmers to be able to engage with its central premise. | https://esoteric.codes/blog/martin-ender |
| https://esoteric.codes/blog/interview-with-martin-kleppe | |
| Martin Kleppe | https://esoteric.codes/blog/interview-with-martin-kleppe |
