Not even jokingly, either. There's no user input during runtime  :P

Except 2.0 and above, which have Request, but it gets annoying (like a dialog box that appears out of nowhere. Horrible for games).

Yeah true, but what Deep Thought said. Same thing occurs on the TI-89 and 92+, but at least the 68K models got a Getkey function.

Lolcode actually looks pretty freaking awesome. You'd think it was developed by the people on that site that must not be named...  O.O

Quoted For Truth
The sad part is that Nspire BASIC IS likely less funtional than most of the languages on that list.  :'(

at least with brainf*ck you can do whatever you want with those 30K of bytes you have to use...

Does it also let you mess with memory stuff like assembly languages or is it more high level?

It depends on the interpreter/compiler. There's are commands to modify a single byte at a time, which can technically be any byte in RAM, but some interpreters/compilers (like thepenguin77's) make sure you can only modify bytes in a safeRAM location.

If you want to mess with memory then Malbolge should be your thing. It took two years to write "Hello, World" in Malbolge:
Code: [Select]
('&%:9]!~}|z2Vxwv-,POqponl$Hjig%eB@@>}=<M:9wv6WsU2T|nm-,jcL(I&%$#"
`CB]V?Tx<uVtT`Rpo3NlF.Jh++FdbCBA@?]!~|4XzyTT43Qsqq(Lnmkj"Fhg${z@>The standard Malbolge is not Turing-complete because there are memory limitation, but there are some extended versions which are Turing-complete. Lou Scheffer posted a cryptanalysis (sic!) of Malbolge and wrote BrainFuck to Malbolge compiler.

What do you expect from language named after eight circle of hell?

I think you are missing the point. Nobody uses Malbolge (or Brainfuck, for that matter) for "real" programming. They exist to show that questions like "what can pointers do that variables can't?" are just incorrect. The answer is always the same: "nothing". You can rewrite any program in Brainfuck and/or Malbolge - and it'll do the same thing still. All constructs which exist in many languages are always about convenience and [sometimes] efficiency, not about pure implementability.

As Joel wrote in this article "understanding pointers in C is not a skill, it's an aptitude", but it does not mean you can avoid them if you are not using C. There are tasks which are easy to implement with pointers and hard without them - and you can write them in any sane or insane language - including TI-Basic or Malbolge.
