Wierd

A programming language in the genre of esolang by Chris Pressey, John Colagioia and Ben Olmstead, 1997

Wierd is a language, inspired somewhat by Befunge-93 and brainfuck, where instructions are not determined by the symbols in a sequence of symbols, but by the bends in a sequence of symbols.
