WRITE-ONLY LANGUAGE

Specialty Definition: WRITE-ONLY LANGUAGE

DomainDefinition

Computing

Write-only language 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. Source: Jargon File.
