J

J is a powerful abstract language, which is a direct descender of the (in)famous programming language APL (A Programming Language). While APL uses mathematical notation with non-standard characters (which makes it look very cryptic, thus the earlier infamous reference), J uses standard ASCII characters. The free development software (IDE) is governed by JSoftware. It has a graphical user interface and good documentation--even for novice programmers--built in.
