And, of course, there's the Whitespace programming language:
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitespace_(programming_language)

I also note that at the bottom of that page, there's a  link  to  the
Acme::Bleach  perl  module,  which  converts a perl program to a form
consisting of the line:
	use Acme::Bleach;
followed by a lot of white space.  The module, of course,  reads  the
white space, converts it back to perl source, and evals it.

But I can see the proletext stuff being  actually  used.   It  sounds
quite  useful,  as  long  as  you  don't  want  or  need any esoteric
formatting features.
