    Wm Leler claims the only completely untyped language he knows of
    is BCPL.  Funny thing about BCPL.  It's the predecessor of a
    little-known language called B, which is the predecessor of a
    language you might have heard of called C.

    (BCPL stands for Basic Computer Programming Language.  I doubt
    it's related to BASIC.)

Well, actually, BCPL stands for "Basic CPL", where CPL stood for "Combined
Programming Language".  BCPL was a stripped-down version of CPL.
