Backshar
Backshar is a programmable language with actual commands similar to real languages such as C#, C++, JS, Python, and more. Nothing about it, excluding strings, comments and variable values, use A-Z & 0-9. It's all symbols. This is the first functional language by threesodas. Unlike the rest, it actually has IO capability. You are 100% allowed to create a compiler for this. It'd be appreciated!
