Y BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF LANGUAGE: <Standard implementation of FOO-66, extended by IF-THEN-ELSE loops, and lots of graphics primatives. Full S & M specification.> OPINIONS: <Pretty nice stuff. I use it for computing Pi to 12,000 digits, and it does that quickly in only 0.5K of memory. The documentation leaves something to be desired, but it's pretty standard FOO-66, so I don't have any problems with it. Still haven't figured out how to make a compiled image or back the dumb thing up.>
