Description
The original esoteric programming language.
INTERCAL, an abbreviation for "Compiler Language With No Pronounceable Acronym", is a famously esoterical programming language. It was created in 1972, by Donald R. Woods and James M. Lyon, with the unusual goal of creating a language with no similarities whatsoever to any existing programming languages. The language largely succeeds in this goal, apart from its use of an assignment statement.
