ETA programming language
ETA is an esoteric programming language by Mike Taylor. The name ETA comes from the language's own instruction set. There is a stack and eight instructions, named after the most common letters in English language: E, T, A, O, I, N, S and H. All other characters (except line-breaks) are treated as comments - thus it is possible, at least in theory, to make ETA code resemble almost any natural language. Another reason for the name is that eta is the seventh letter in Greek alphabet. That is to celebrate its use in base-7 numbering system which ETA programming language uses.
