What's the strangest language you've ever programmed in?

Forth was a bit like that

Last code I wrote was in PIC16-ASM. I'm not certain why people say ASM is so hard, it's perfect for control-freaks. You get to tell the controller EXACTLY what you want it to do.

Brainfuck. tried it and gave up. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brainfuck

The language for a Monroe 1665 programmable calculator.

what so strange about it? that it is entirely command orientated? lua is interesting for a compact language.

X86 assembly maybe..

There wasn't much that was wierd about x86 assemblers - once you got used to the idea of segment registers - was there?

I suppose those string instructions that you stuck the length in front of were a bit confronting, but they came straight from the 1401 machine language. Relocating relative references when the lengths of instructions can change was a little bit odd, too.

When I saw this thread's title, I couldn't help wondering... Klingon?

Forth

Any functional programming language. In college, it was lambda calculus and Standard ML. Nowadays, it's XSL. I find programming in these languages frustrating yet compelling - like solving some great puzzle.

I know it's already been said, but my studying Prolog very nearly caused a cranial explosion.
