Actually, INTERCAL is designed to be unlike any other language. It's Malbolge that's created with the notion that programming ought to be hard.

Yes, Intercal is a very silly language. (That's good) In fact, the manual looks like it could have been written by Monty Python. (That is also very good)

I love the notion of "COME FROM" instead of "GO TO". It makes the program so much harder to understand.

Matt DiMeo said on 07/19/10 22:45:30

I'm the author of this...thing. In my defense, I was young, and needed the money. Or something.

I remember writing about three perl scripts just to generate the arrays, and another to make the code come out polite enough to satisfy the compiler, without being too polite. Good times.

Using COME FROM because "GOTO is considered harmful" is only the first step.
Using two COME FROM statements to spawn a thread is much better:

And intercal's unique synchronization mechanisms make multithreaded programming a child's game!
