What is intercal
intercal is:
This package is an implementation of the language INTERCAL, legendary for its perversity and horribleness, designed by Don Woods and James Lyon, who have since spent more than twenty years trying to live it down. This version adds COME FROM for extra flavor, and supports multithreading. Comes with language manual and examples including possibly the entire extant body of INTERCAL code.
This INTERCAL implementation works by compiling INTERCAL to C (thus de-obfuscating it), and then uses a C compiler to produce binaries (which are themselves possibly easier to read than the original intercal “source” code).
