If we port this to MS then it would be important to add some confusion to
accommodate existing software and meet MS standardization. For example it
might be important to make all IO calls in the French Language. And only the
terminators of the loop control in Spanish. Perhaps remarks would be in
Polish. Now that would make a product MS users would be accustom to using!

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.
