Thanks to David Hand, I've gained an interest in such langauges.  If
your not familiar, google for INTERCALL, BrainF***, unlambda, 4DL,
Beatnik, malbolge, Dis, and the list goes on.

Thankfully the first one that David pointed me to was HQ9+.  I love
this programming langauge.  Said love is probably a result of being
able to understand it.  Sadly there was just one interpreter that I
could find on the internet, in Ocaml, so I just had to write one in
Perl.

If you recall my mis-named "99 bottles of bear" song from the February
meeting, you'll love how easy that program is in HQ9+.

Here is the documentation, you can find the download from there, as
well as the original language specification.

Enjoy!
