Oh why oh why is ; called a hybrid? -- Ihope127 16:50, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
Why does the article flirt and tease with the reader by declaiming that INTERCAL is sui generis and then coyly mentioning that "select" operator has precdent- and not telling us what "Select" does? -- Maru (talk) Contribs 03:33, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
Added link to BESM-6. -- Leob 09:01, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
"programming language" is redundant; there is nothing else called INTERCAL. There used to be a version of this at INTERCAL (at the same time that this already existed) which was merged with this one, then INTERCAL redirected here. ethan ( talk) 03:11, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
In the paragraph detailing the change from EBCDIC to ASCII, "substitutions for two characters had to be made: $ substituted for ¢ as the mingle operator [...] and ? was substituted for ∀ as the unary exclusive-or operator". As far as i know, the XOR operator is binary, not unary. -- Jokes Free4Me 13:03, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
By the way, does PLEASE DO differ in any way from DO? :-) -- Jokes Free4Me 13:03, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
I'm not familiar enough with INTERCAL to know if this would be an appropriate "See also", but someone else might wish to create a "See also" section with a link to Mornington Crescent (game). -- Icarus 05:15, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
Should also "see also" the language whitespace. Snezzy ( talk) 02:41, 4 March 2010 (UTC)
Where are the classes and lectures? How about backtracking Intercal? Shinobu 07:55, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
What sort of citation were you looking for? That Jimbo was a co-author? That his nickname is Jimbo? That Don Woods was an adventure author (that's in the linked article)? That this is a photo of Jim? That M is his middle initial? That he's less famous than Don? I took the tag out pending clarification of what you're asking for. Oh, I see you already made the caption humorless, so there's nothing left to cite. If you're still unsure who wrote intercal, see the reference manual or the lead sentence. Notice that it is not the musician James Lyon previously linked. Dicklyon 16:41, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
According to a recent blog post, Apple discovered that Microsoft had planted a spy in their organisation, and deliberately leaked a copy of obsolete System 7 source code, machine-translated to INTERCAL, claiming it was the latest build of OS X 10.2. Bill Gates initially fell for the trick and seriously told his programmers to incorporate the INTERCAL code into Windows Vista. JIP | Talk 05:39, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
Dick, why do you consider the following to be a "perfectly sensible observation on a reference about INTERCAL"?
Other authors seem to have missed the joke. In one report, INTERCAL is described as an instructional language, with the further remark that "INTERCAL was the only one developed for general use like our language CAL."
This paper is not about INTERCAL, it just makes a passing reference to it. We are only using it to demonstrate that some people have missed that INTERCAL is a joke, but this is original research because it draws a novel conclusion from the source. What we would need is a published source saying that Bhatele and Satyarth's reference of INTERCAL shows that they missed the joke. Furthermore, the Bhatele and Satyarth paper, as far as I can tell (and I hadn't noticed this before) appears to be self-published, and not by well-known professional researchers, which makes it unusable as a reference here (see WP:V#SELF). -- Allen 19:19, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
I'm looking for a syntax-highlighting IDE as I've been tasked with maintaining INTERCAL code and am having trouble not making mistakes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.51.122.24 ( talk) 15:07, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
How about adding the following somewhere:
“ | Boost your Intercal Programmer job prospects by enhancing your resume with an ExpertRating Online Certification. Since there are a lot of Intercal Programmer job seekers, extra credentials count. | ” |
(I've tried to make it NPOV.)

I was looking at
Help:Displaying a formula, and spotted, in the “Unsorted (new stuff)” section of the table, a TeX command called \intercal
. It looks like this:
I searched the web, and found it in The Comprehensive LaTeX Symbol List, in Table 23 (AMS Binary Operators). Does anyone know what it is used for? (I assume “intercal” is just an abbreviation; it can't be related to INTERCAL...) Alksentrs ( talk) 02:44, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
I've changed the "Hello, world!" INTERCAL code to what I believe is correct. Looks like the original used a lower-case h and a space instead of an exclamation point. If someone could check my math, that'd be great. Kthx! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.42.153.95 ( talk) 07:05, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
I just read this page, and it was a total crack-up. I'm from a younger generation of programmers and I really appreciate you guys preserving the humor from this most special era in computer science :)
I concur. Very interesting. Zezen ( talk) 23:33, 29 March 2017 (UTC)
Don't you know that INTERCAL can make Morton encoding and Gray encoding? -- Zzo38 ( talk) 08:28, 7 December 2015 (UTC)

So does anybody know why the page was archived when it explicitely asked (via /robots.txt) to avoid archiving? I tried reporting the problem to archive.is but there has been no answer or action, so if anybody knows who to contact about that please let me know 2001:8B0:1A7:4300:95F3:239A:D76A:32C9 ( talk) 13:49, 5 March 2019 (UTC) Claudio Calvelli (CLC)
