THE LESSER-KNOWN PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES #10: SIMPLE

SIMPLE is an acronym for Sheer Idiot’s Monopurpose Programming Language<br />{=html}
Environment. This language, developed at the Hanover College for<br />{=html}
Technological Misfits, was designed to make it impossible to write code<br />{=html}
with errors in it. The statements are, therefore, confined to BEGIN,<br />{=html}
END and STOP. No matter how you arrange the statements, you can’t make<br />{=html}
a syntax error. Programs written in SIMPLE do nothing useful. Thus<br />{=html}
they achieve the results of programs written in other languages without<br />{=html}
the tedious, frustrating process of testing and debugging.<br />{=html}
