gollark: Charlie and the Chocolate FACTORY, oops.
gollark: This is definitely not stranger than that 85-kiloword charlie and the chocolate fanfiction I read.

gollark: > FALSE (named after the author's favourite truth value) is an early Forth-like esoteric programming language invented by Wouter van Oortmerssen in 1993, with the goal of creating a powerful (and obfuscated) language with as small a compiler as possible. The original compiler is 1024 bytes, written in 68000 assembler. FALSE inspired the prominent esoteric languages Brainfuck and Befunge, among other languages. I see.
gollark: I DID want some sort of accursed scripting or query language.
