Question
Hillel Wayne’s satirical “How to Solve the Sudoku Puzzle with Programming” concludes with a four-line program in this language, the last line of which is a comment reading, “what is WRONG with me”. The esoteric programming language Jelly is inspired by this language and its implementation of “tacit programming”. This language’s syntax for negative numbers uses underscores, as opposed to its predecessor’s use of a raised minus sign. In this language’s unusual terminology, “trains” and “forks” are syntactic structures that “verbs” and “nouns” can be arranged into, and individual statements are called “sentences”. Alongside GolfScript, this language’s terse nature caused a highly-upvoted question on the meta Code Golf StackExchange claiming that it “suck[s] all the enjoyment out of Code Golf”. For 10 points, name this descendant of APL with an ASCII (“ASS-kee”) character set, which has a (*) single-letter name. ■END■
