Programming Language - INTERCAL

INTERCAL

INTERCAL - (Allegedly stands for "Compiler Language With No Pronounceable
Acronym"). Woods & Lyon, Princeton U, May 26, 1972. The most elaborate
and extended joke in the history of language design; claims to have nothing
in common with any other major programming language. "The INTERCAL
Programming Language Reference Manual", Donald R. Woods & James M. Lyon.
Implementations: INTERCAL-72 in SPITBOL for IBM/360; Atari version of
unknown date; and C-INTERCAL, a retargetable compiler for Unix by Eric S.
Raymond in 1991, which uses C as an intermediate
language. The latest C-INTERCAL version adds features like the COME FROM
statement and multilingual support including Basque, Nahuatl, Sanskrit and
Tagalog.
