Brainfuck is fairly practical compared to Unlambda and INTERCAL.
- jlgreco 13y agoI have to admit that I was a little let down to see that APL was not included. Not in the same class as those languages... technically.
- Jach 13y agoOr J to keep things ascii. Though I would have loved to have seen Malbolge. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malbolge http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malbolge) It's already super impressive, but with some extra work it could be hyper impressive!
- mbillie1 13y agoPerhaps my favorite paragraph on all of wikipedia: INTERCAL has many other features designed to make it even more aesthetically unpleasing to the programmer: it uses statements such as "READ OUT", "IGNORE", "FORGET", and modifiers such as "PLEASE". This last keyword provides two reasons for the program's rejection by the compiler: if "PLEASE" does not appear often enough, the program is considered insufficiently polite, and the error message says this; if too often, the program could be rejected as excessively polite. Although this feature existed in the original INTERCAL compiler, it was undocumented.

- _pmf_ 13y ago> COME FROM also allows elegant aspect-oriented programming :) I used to make fun of Intercal, until I had to do with a Simulink model that made use of FROM blocks. It's just as retarded as you'd expect. It's as if someone intentionally decided to take a step back from structured programming, and then some more steps back.

- xyzzy123 13y agoNot quite, a listener isn't supposed to steal your thread of control indefinitely...
