Intercal is the True Way. http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/intercal/ 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 *** http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~malcolmr/threaded_intercal.html http://www.eleves.ens.fr:8080/home/madore/programs/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 Hitch-Hacker's Guide to Programming" "the following Unlambda program calculates and prints the Fibonacci numbers (as lines of asterisks) ```s``s``sii`ki `k.*``s``s`ks ``s`k`s`ks``s``s`ks``s`k`s`kr``s`k`sikk `k``s`ksk "
