New SNOBOL *Two*?
That could be interesting to see. Lessee what my Google-fu is like...

I've worked with SNOBOL4 a bit and like what it can do. But it's a FORTRAN-like language with no structures between gotos and functions. :-/

Is it enough to love
Is it enough to breathe
Somebody rip my heart out
And leave me here to bleed
 
Is it enough to die
Somebody save my life
I'd rather be Anything but Ordinary
Please
