write-only language
2014-04-26 11:54:15 -04:00
n. A language with syntax (or semantics) sufficiently dense and bizarre that
any routine of significant size is automatically write-only code. A
sobriquet applied occasionally to C and often to APL, though INTERCAL and
TECO certainly deserve it more. See also Befunge.
