The language designed to be Turing-complete but as +fundamentally unlike any existing language as possible. Expressions +that look like line noise. Control constracts that will make you gasp, +make you laugh, and possibly make you hurl. Data structures? We don't +need no steenking data structures! + +INTERCAL. Designed very early one May morning in 1972 by two hackers +who are still trying to live it down. Initially implemented on an IBM +360 running batch SPITBOL. Described by a manual that circulated for +years after the short life of the first implementation, reducing +strong men to tears (of laughter). Revived in 1990 by the C-INTERCAL +compiler, and now the center of an international community of +technomasochists. + +INTERCAL. Now you, too, can be a part of the madness. |
