intercal
(foldoc) | INTERCAL
/in't*r-kal/ (Said by the authors to stand
for "Compiler Language With No Pronounceable Acronym").
Possibly the most elaborate and long-lived joke in the history
of programming languages. It was designed on 1972-05-26 by
Don Woods and Jim Lyons at Princeton University.
INTERCAL is purposely different from all other computer
languages in all ways but one; it is purely a written
language, being totally unspeakable. The INTERCAL Reference
Manual, describing features of horrifying uniqueness, became
an underground classic. An excerpt will make the style of the
language clear:
It is a well-known and oft-demonstrated fact that a person
whose work is incomprehensible is held in high esteem. For
example, if one were to state that the simplest way to store a
value of 65536 in a 32-bit INTERCAL variable is:
DO :1 |
