INTERCAL's main advantage over other programming languages is its simplicity. It has few capabilities, and thus there are few restrictions to be kept in mind. Since it is an exceedingly easy language to learn, one might expect it would be a good language for initiating novice programmers. Perhaps surprising, than [sic], is the fact that it would be more likely to initiate the novice into a search for another line of work.
