The clue in the challenge is esoteric language. When we search this up, we get this Wikipedia talking about esoteric programming languages.

An esoteric programming language (sometimes shortened to esolang)
is a programming language designed to test the boundaries of computer 
programming language design, as a proof of concept, as software art, as a 
hacking interface to another language

After reading through it, I did some comparison between the syntax of the file and the different esoteric programming languages. The closets and most similar was Malbolge. We can use Malbolge Compiler to get the flag.
