Sunday Geekness

Someone pointed me at this page for a great new programming language called Whitespace.

What is Whitespace?

Most modern programming languages do not consider white space characters (spaces, tabs and newlines) syntax, ignoring them, as if they weren't there. We consider this to be a gross injustice to these perfectly friendly members of the character set. Should they be ignored, just because they are invisible? Whitespace is a language that seeks to redress the balance. Any non whitespace characters are ignored; only spaces, tabs and newlines are considered syntax.

I love it! Someone obviously had way too much time on their hands or was taking some really interesting drugs when they thought up this.
