What are some obscure but interesting programming languages?

Question

Question inspired by an HN thread. IIRC, the recent thread about Simula is the one I am thinking of.I wanted to say "languages you know (of), but the title length limit was 80 characters.A more appropriate term for "obscure" may be "less well-known", in this context.

Pilot.Lots and lots of assembly languages: 8080, Z80, 6502, 2650, 6800, 68000, 8086, and those are just the ones I can remember off the top of my head.Pascal is becoming obscure, then there's its offshoot Oberon.And it's been a very long time since I heard anything about ADA

I use Autohotkey a lot. Version 2 is tilted heavily towards functions and objects (it began life more command based) so it's more friendly to trad coders now.Not everyones cuppa tea but it's the language of choice for cheating at games. (Rust is coming up strong though).
