From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
My Favourite Toy Language          (MFTL) Describes a talk on a {programming       language} design that is heavy on {syntax} (with lots of       {BNF}), sometimes even talks about {semantics} (e.g. {type       system}s), but rarely, if ever, has any content (see       {content-free}).   More broadly applied to talks - even when       the topic is not a programming language --- in which the       subject matter is gone into in unnecessary and meticulous       detail at the sacrifice of any conceptual content.   "Well, it       was a typical MFTL talk".          2. A language about which the developers are passionate (often       to the point of prosyletic zeal) but no one else cares about.       Applied to the language by those outside the originating       group.   "He cornered me about type resolution in his MFTL."          The first great goal in the mind of the designer of an MFTL is       usually to write a compiler for it, then bootstrap the design       away from contamination by lesser languages by writing a       compiler for it in itself.   Thus, the standard put-down       question at an MFTL talk is "Has it been used for anything       besides its own compiler?".   On the other hand, a language       that *cannot* be used to write its own compiler is beneath       contempt.          {Doug McIlroy} once proposed a test of the generality and       utility of a language and the {operating system} under which       it is compiled: "Is the output of a {Fortran} program       acceptable as input to the Fortran compiler?"   In other words,       can you write programs that write programs?   Alarming numbers       of (language, OS) pairs fail this test, particularly when the       language is Fortran.   Aficionados are quick to point out that       {Unix} (even using Fortran) passes it handily.   That the test       could ever be failed is only surprising to those who have had       the good fortune to have worked only under modern systems       which lack OS-supported and -imposed "file types".          See {break-even point}, {toolsmith}.          (1995-03-07)
