Intercal is the True Way.

The only programming language with the COME FROM , if you write your
programs in Intercal you can be forever sure that you as the
programmer will have absolute job security...

Alternatively, for the truly inspired, there are Threaded Intercal
("All communication between threads is done by turning on and off
lines of the shared code base." ) and Unlambda ***

**" The effect of reading an Unlambda program is like habing
your brains smashed out by a Lisp sexp wrapped around an ENIAC.  You
won't find anything like it west of Alpha Centauri.

"the following Unlambda program
calculates and prints the Fibonacci numbers (as lines of
asterisks)

  `k.*``s``s`ks
 ``s`k`s`ks``s``s`ks``s`k`s`kr``s`k`sikk
