|OK, I'll bite. What is "Orwell", beside my favorite English author?
A functional language, closely related to Miranda and Gofer.
For example:

This whole article is an Orwell program, because lines not starting with ">"
are comments. Coincidentally enough, it is also a Gofer program if you
invoke the interpreter with the right flags.
