Computerworld is undertaking a series of investigations into the most widely-used programming languages. Previously we have spoken to Alfred v. Aho of AWK fame, S. Tucker Taft on the Ada 1995 and 2005 revisions, Microsoft about its server-side script engine ASP, Chet Ramey about his experience maintaining Bash, Bjarne Stroustrup of C++ fame, and to Charles H. Moore about the design and development of Forth.
is interview, Computerworld ventures down a less serious path and chats to Don Woods about the development and uses of INTERCAL.

One of the most interesting 'feature' of INTERCAL is the "COME FROM [linenumber]" statement, that replaces the usual "GOTO [linenumber]".
With that, you can break the execution flow with no visible delimiter, tracing program execution can be plain horrible.
An early experiment of exceptions ;-)
