HQ9 + - programming language specializing in trivial tasks, by Cliff L. Biffle

JSFuck is valid JavaScript code, but only uses the characters (,), [,],! and +. Various, more or less adventurous detours are necessary to generate numbers, letters and commands: 2 is !+[]+!![], or by generating the character string "1e1000" and converting it to a number, namely "Infinity", the letter "y" is available . What is special is that JSFuck can serve as a tool to bypass the detection of malicious JavaScript code.
