;: ''INTERCAL. The language designed to be Turing-complete but as fundamentally unlike any existing language as possible. Expressions that look like line noise. Control constructs that will make you gasp, make you laugh, and possibly make you hurl. Data structures? We don't need no steenking data structures!'' %%% -- EricRaymond

+;: ''INTERCAL is a programming language like no other. This is good, or at least, it is good that other languages are as unlike INTERCAL as possible.'' %%% -- [The Pit|http://www.webcom.com/nazgul/intercal.html]
;: ''The obvious choice was INTERCAL (I'm still quite surprised that I'm the only one who picked it -- most people did Java??). Anyway, it was not favourably received...when [[the professor] handed it back, he said, "Ah. I see you're someone with a sense of humour. Unfortunately for you, I'm not."'' %%% -- Alexander Garrett, about [a paper he wrote for his Spring 1997 Programming Languages: Theory and Design class|http://catb.org/~esr/intercal/paper.html]
INTERCAL was originally developed in 1972 and lives on through the C-INTERCAL compiler. More information can be found at the [INTERCAL Resources Page|http://www.catb.org/~esr/intercal/].
