Whitespace

The only syntactically significant character is whitespace.

The constructs of the language itself are all opcodes forming a stack-based language with a heap. From this perspective, it is tremendously straightforward and useful by comparison with languages like INTERCAL or Unlambda that don't directly provide, for instance, multiplication. Some whitespace is written directly, but a great deal of it is written through an assembler.

The operations start with a one or two character prefix denoting category, and are divided among:

Stack control
Arithmetic
Heap access
Flow control
I/O

(spaces, tabs and newlines)
Why not something like a, b and c instead, or any other legible characters? Because of the "epic practical joke", that's why. (Bazinga!) Just read the main page..
