I'd have to disagree - I'd think C is
somewhere in the middle (well, maybe
middle right) but more to the right would be 68xx/65xx assembly, then x86 &
Lisp, but I'll agree that APL is the "king daddy" of unreadable
languages... that's why I love it so much! ;-)
Trump card of "far right" languages: INTERCAL. I guess that would make
these languages fascist or something, being so far on the right?
