Somewhat surprised that this list does not include INTERCAL, one of the original esoteric languages, and the only implemented programming language where the compiler may refuse to compile your code based on how polite it is (PLEASE is a keyword in INTERCAL, it's a no-op in terms of actual code execution, but if it doesn't appear with the right frequency in the source code, the compiler will throw an error because the program is either 'not polite enough' or 'too polite').
