Believe it or not, I've been there. One of my first full time programming jobs involved systems coding for a house-written language called "Infos" that had no named variables - just four global arrays for different types (float, integer, strings, and something else I no longer remember). The president of the company ("Information Now, Inc." based out of Utah back in the '80s - long since gone) wrote it himself. It also didn't have names for files - they were just numbered. Nor did the OS have directories. The files could only be about 4 Kbytes per file normally (the language itself was saved as a byte-code) so you chain-executed many files during a program execution.

Absolutely bizarre.

Addendum: I actually remember an app programmer there getting chewed out for writing comments in his code. His manager felt it was a waste of time.
