Actually, I can see us porting this right over to Windoze...Visual
Whitespace. Why not, eh? We'd make a fortune! It could have little
buttons to click on to add a space, or a tab, or a line feed.
Brilliant!

I can't do it myself, though...some people have way too much time on
their hands but I'm not one of them.

Lol

Who is responsible?=20
The interpreter was written by someone who shouldn't have stayed up so
late,=20
Edwin Brady, and the language was designed by two people who shouldn't
have had=20
so much to drink, Edwin Brady and Chris Morris. No doubt Andrew
Stribblehill=20
isn't entirely blameless either.

Well...if this isn't a joke, and I get the feeling it isn't entirely a
joke it=20
is kinda neat. Not a very good idea, the kind of interpreter it would
take to=20
make the code so you could visually understand it would be crazy. What
if you=20
made a typo? An extra white space? Thats a lot of nothing to go through.
It's=20
creative though.
