Ahhh...the very first programming language I learned.
Writing dense, hard to understand code *was* the goal. :-)
That half the character set was in Greek just made it cooler.

Any old farts on here remember the contest some computer programming
magazine use to have.
Every year they had a contest to see who could write the most complete
adventure game with a single line of code.

I remember the winner one year:
A=rnd(100):if a<50 then print "you lose": if a>50 then print "you die": if
a=50 then print "you win!"

hahah
