Happy Thanksgiving to one and all!
'Normal' is a statistical average. There may be such a thing as a normal person, but I haven't met him yet.

Falsish esolang
Okay, I'm a junkie. I like making esoteric programming language (esolang) variants. I was focusing on Subleq, but have moved my sights along to False now.
False is one of the earliest purpose-built esolangs, dating back to 1993. You can learn more about it here.
Anyway, I was also interested in the capabilities of the fish ><> esolang. Especially how it could create new stacks.
So, I added the new stack capability to False, along with making a new local variable list with each stack. That meant I also had to add a new way to have global variables.
I think I succeeded in my task. For what it's worth, it was fun and educational. After I gave up on the first misguided and overly complicated attempt, that is. Wow, what a difference building the right foundation makes. 😊
You can find out more about Falsish here, and download the Python code from here.
Here is a sample program, written in Falsish:

Always remember that, to the Left, the truth is "misinformation".
