INTERCAL seems pretty hard.

For example, you have to occasionally say PLEASE or else the compiler will throw an error calling you unpolite. You can't also say PLEASE evey time because it will call you overly polite.

Here are some of the other compiler error messages: https://gist.github.com/kconner/a5c73557230dee1f7a3934d6a7abee13

The most delciously evil part of INTERCAL is "COMEFROM" (though COMEFROM was proposed a number of times as a joke long before INTERCAL)
