write-only language
A language with syntax (or semantics) sufficiently dense and bizarre that any routine of significant size is automatically write-only code. A sobriquet applied occasionally to C and often to APL, though INTERCAL and TECO certainly deserve it more.Nearby terms:
write-only code ♦ write-only language ♦ write-only memory ♦ write protect
