As does PostScript (which, despite its reputation as a printer format, 
is really a full-fledged programming language).  I suspect that people 
who didn't grow up with RPN (i.e. H/P calculators) find it amazingly 
obtuse.  In much the same way I find Objective-C amazingly obtuse.  Oh, 
wait, that's the other thread.
