Many thanks to New Scientist magazine’s Feedback for mentioning DangerMouse's collection of esoteric languages and algorithms. They were particularly impressed by the Intelligent Design Sort, though personally I find the Drop Sort more intellectually satisfying.
I now realise that all that time at University writing QuickSorts in Pascal was wasted - I could have been writing Hanoi sorts in Ook!
Incidentally I’m sure that somebody once proposed an extended BASIC that replaced the GOTO with a much more useful COME FROM statement…
