Description:
A mini-language composed in September 1994 as a response to a speculative thread on the USENET group alt.lang.intercal, designed to explore the possibility of truly two-dimensional control structures. Vaguely FORTH-like, except that control flow can move forward, backward, or sideways (or even diagonally!).
