Kak

Kak is an esolang made by User:ChuckEsoteric08 which, employing a minimalistic syntax, operates on an infinite tape of bits.
==Name==
The name of the language means “how” in Russian.
==Architecture==
A Kak program operates on a tape of infinite length, expanding in an unbounded manner in its dextral direction. The cells, comprising this linear data structure, are enumerated starting with an index of one (1). Each such entity maintains a single bit. A pointer always references the current or active cell, capable of navigating across the storage, and initially empighted in the first cell at index 1.
==Syntax==
Programs may contain any character; however, only command tokens are executed, while insignificant content acts as a comment.
==Commands==
The instruction set tallies three members:
Command	Description
! 	Move the pointer to the right and flip the bit at the new location
? 	Skip the next instruction if the current cell's bit is zero (0)
< 	Move the pointer to the left if the pointer index is greater than one (1)
A program executes inside of a loop that ends if by the end of the program the active cell's bit is 0, like in Ultimate bf instruction minimalization!.
==Computational class==
I don't know, but here is translation from Ultimate bf instruction minimalization! to Kak:
UBFIM	Kak
< 	<
( 	!?
==Examples==
===Hello, world!===
The following program produces in its tape the bits of the ASCII character codes defining the text “Hello, World!”. Each character code octet's bits represent from left to right the most significant bit (MSB) to the least significant (LSB). Please note that an adscititious zero-valued bit is adhibited in the desinent memory cell in order to terminate the program.

==Implementations==
* A C++ interpreter by User:Bangyen.
* An implementation of the Kak programming language in Common Lisp shall be supplied. The interpreter returns the memory as a bit vector at the end of its execution. If a final one-valued bit requires a repetition, the restart is preceded by a printing of the tape, as a precaution in the case of a potential infinite looping.
