Episode 158 - INTERCAL RIDES AGAIN - Restoring a Lost Compiler
Manage episode 486293484 series 2527547
In 1973 the world caught it's first glimpse of INTERCAL. It's a wild and wacky language, somewhere between comedy and cutting satire. But the compiler was never circulated. There would be later implementations, but that original compiler remained lost to time. That is, until now. This episode covers how the original source code was found, and my attempt to get it up and running.
