INTERCAL
/in 't *r -kal / (Said by the authors to stand
for "Compiler Language With No Pronounceable Acronym ").
Possibly the most elaborate and long -lived joke in the history
of programming languages . It was designed on 1972 -05 -26 by
Don Woods and Jim Lyons at Princeton University .
INTERCAL is purposely different from all other computer
languages in all ways but one ; it is purely a written
language , being totally unspeakable . The INTERCAL Reference
Manual , describing features of horrifying uniqueness , became
an underground classic . An excerpt will make the style of the
language clear :
It is a well -known and oft -demonstrated fact that a person
whose work is incomprehensible is held in high esteem . For
example , if one were to state that the simplest way to store a
value of 65536 in a 32 -bit INTERCAL variable is :
DO :1 <- #0$#256
any sensible programmer would say that that was absurd . Since
this is indeed the simplest method , the programmer would be
made to look foolish in front of his boss , who would of course
have happened to turn up , as bosses are wont to do . The
effect would be no less devastating for the programmer having
been correct .
INTERCAL has many other peculiar features designed to make it
even more unspeakable . The Woods -Lyons implementation was
actually used by many (well , at least several ) people at
{Princeton }.
Eric S . Raymond wrote C -INTERCAL in
1990 as a break from editing "The New Hacker 's Dictionary ",
adding to it the first implementation of {COME FROM } under its
own name . The compiler has since been maintained and extended
by an international community of technomasochists and is
consequently enjoying an unprecedented level of unpopularity .
The version 0 .9 distribution includes the compiler , extensive
documentation and a program library . C -INTERCAL is actually
an INTERCAL -to -C source translator which then calls the local
{C } compiler to generate a binary . The code is thus quite
portable .
