White space

Whitespace with syntax enhancement.

Whitespace is an esoteric programming language developed by Edwin Brady and Chris Morris, released on April 1, 2003. The syntax consists only of whitespace, tab, and newlines. The other characters are ignored.

It is an imperative language that is based on a stack. The virtual machine that runs the programs has a stack and a heap. Using the stack, programmers can stack integers of arbitrary width, but cannot stack floating point numbers at this time. The heap can be used to permanently store variables and data structures.

Hello World Example

It says "Hello World" here. The spaces are colored to make them visible. (space, tab)

 (empty line)
