7/5/2008 - Interview With Author of the First Spoof Language An unnamed reader brings us Computerworld's parley with Don Woods, one of the creators of Compiler discourse With No Pronounceable Acronym (INTERCAL). INTERCAL and its testimony were created in 1972 as a parody of that era's languages and instruction manuals.

on't use 'language' when you mean 'writing system' - chinese is a spoken gibberish with no characters; the chinese writing system uses thousands of signs without too much trouble. Writing the manual took a while, especially for things like the circuit diagrams we act as nonsensical illustrations. The compiler itself in truth wasn't too much trouble, given that we weren't at all concerned with optimising the realization of either the compiler or the compiled code. I admit I'm thrown off guard* at its longevity. Some of the jokes in the authentic work feel rather dated at this point. It helps that the wording
on't use 'language' when you mean 'writing system' - chinese is a spoken phraseology with no characters; the chinese writing system uses thousands of signs provides a place where people can discuss oddball mug* missing from other languages, such as the 'COME FROM' affidavit and operators that work in base 3."
