We've probably all heard it said that any fool can write programs that a compiler can read, but a great developer writes programs that a human can read. Of course some languages lend themselves to human readability more than others. I have often heard Perl picked on as a "write-only" language. Well, I recently ran across a language that puts Perl in the clear.
Check out Whitespace. If you've got a place in your heart for ridiculous languages, you'll eat this one up.
The thing that's cool about Whitespace is that you can actually write code in two languages in the same file. If you're any good with both you could write a source file that can compile with two different language compilers to produce two programs that perform the same function.
