>From article <15...@bfmny0.BFM.COM>, by tn...@bfmny0.BFM.COM (Tom Neff):
| What was the funniest and/or most memorable computer language NAME you
| ever ran into?  No, 'c89' is ineligible, that would be too easy.  :-)
| Extra points if you wrote the compiler yourself.

NeilBrown, next door, has written his own shell. Since he wants to support
various command line editting styles (emacs for them, vi for me, etc), this
is done via a small language he concocted. Works quite well.

It's called NOEL (Neil's Own Editor Language).
