google APL
Looks like an interesting project, but I can't understand what's the advantage of using weird symbols.
Mostly so that all the built in keywords, control flow, and standard library are all "one character"
Looks like a write-only language to me.
It's evaluated right to left, but modifiers are to the left of the functions. I feel like they were specifically trying to be difficult.
This looks like someone took regular expressions, expanded them to a full programming language, and used Unicode to deal with the explosion of required symbols. I have a hard enough time reading my own regular expressions. I can't imagine writing full programs like this.
