I love some of the brainfuck variants, in particular fuckfuck ( http://esolangs.org/wiki/Fuckfuck sample code: https://bitbucket.org/Abscissa/duckfuck/src/ba63ca55332a/hello.ff ) and whitespace ( http://compsoc.dur.ac.uk/whitespace/ Ok, maybe not exactly a bf equivalent, but similar) >> INTERCAL is an amusing esolang in which >> you have to insert adequate amounts of the PLEASE command, otherwise you >> risk instant program termination.

Sounds like ActionScript 2. Yes. Seriously. It just ignores any statement that would normally be a runtime error (and IIRC, there's not much in the way of semantic errors either). It's a goddamn *accidental* isolang. Come to think of it, "accidental isolang" also describes PHP. (And I'm not trying to be tongue-in-cheek, I genuinely mean that.)
