3 yoob is a framework for implementing esoteric programming languages in Java.
4 It aims to make it easy for a user to experiment with a large number of
5 esolangs with a minimal install burden (i.e. in a Java applet), and to make
6 it easy for designers to rapidly implement and showcase their esolangs.

8 History
9 -------
10
11 The current released version of yoob is 0.2. It is as it stands before you.
12 I decided to release it, in spite of the source being embarassingly bad, so
13 that the masses might mock it, and perhaps, in their collective moment of
14 weakness, submit patches, or at least actionable flames (note: actionable.)
15
16 Version 0.1 of yoob was purely a technology preview and was never officially
17 released.
18
19 What needs to be done most badly in version 0.3 is the ability to load an
20 example source from a URL; this will allow several of the esolang
21 implementations which I have already written, but have not yet included,
22 to be released without embedded (possibly non-public domain) example programs
23 and thus uncontentiously and unconfusingly into the public domain.
24
25 The API should not be expected to be stable through the 0.x series.
