what the FUCK

That's Owl.
You've probably heard of Brainf**k.
Its author was inspired by a toy Forth called FALSE.
FALSE also inspired someone to with a similar toy Forth called Owl. It turns out there are a lot of people who get their kicks designing weird languages (Befunge, Bloop, etc.), and they play off each other's designs. There are several forks from FALSE, and some interesting apps written in FALSE as well.

BTW, the original FALSE was 1 page of Amiga assembler.

I'll take APL instead, thanks

Some APL notes:
-It comes from math. The weird Greek symbols are favored by mathematicians writing formulas.
-Its author later wrote J, and APL users mostly switched to J.
-APL specializes in vectors: sorting, searching, merging, etc. When you step outside that problem domain, APL can be more trouble than help.
-Morgan Stanley wrote the A+ implementation of APL and offers it free. Vector math is useful in financial computing.
-The IOCCC 1989-robison program is a pico APL interpreter. No loops, but it does have functions and "indirection".
-Most full implementations have an interactive environment supporting individual function changes and fast development.
-dmoz has a category: http://dmoz.org/Computers/Programming/Languages/APL

The concept of divide   and conquer in   general It is   as they say   goto considered harmful   my max gs   print nDEATH n   print The word   was word n.
