'''Whitespace''' is a esoteric [[programming language]] developed by [[Edwin Brady]] and [[Chris Morris (cim)|Chris Morris]]. It was released on [[1 April]] [[2003]]. The interpreter ignores any non whitespace characters. Only spaces, tabs and newlines are considered syntax.

The language itself is an [[imperative]], [[Stack (computing)|stack]] based language. The [[virtual machine]] on which programs run has a stack and a [[heap]]. The programmer is free to push arbitrary width integers onto the stack (only integers, currently there is no implementation of floating point or real numbers). The user can also access the heap as a permanent store for variables and [[data structures]].
