    There is already a programming language called W [1]. It's not related to the language of Mathematica but you could say has a little bit of relevance to scientific computing since it was created for the HP-95LX and the HP-200LX DOS-powered programmable calculators. I used to have a decent collection of subroutines for it. [1] http://www.vttoth.com/CMS/index.php/projects/49 http://www.vttoth.com/CMS/index.php/projects/49

  I had the same idea only to read the comments to find that it had already been suggested.

  There's already an language named M, which is even ANSI-standardised under that name. It's also known as MUMPS. f i=1:1:100 w ! w:'(i#3) "Fizz" w:'(i#5) "Buzz" w:'$x i Whitespace matters in that. Kind of. Sometimes. Considering it has hardly changed since 1966, it's suprisingly usable - much more so than BASIC, for example, and includes a pre-relational (the marketing calls it post-relational now) B-Tree storage engine. And the biggest vendor has extended MUMPS with a Macro language to make it do SQL. Yep, it's a NoSQL engine that does SQL that's been around since 1966. There's no end to the silliness in that world :|
