Last time I visited Caltech I was shown some information about a language
called FITH.  (The name is evidently formed by dropping a letter from the
middle of "fifth", analogous to the transformation "fourth" -> "forth"; I must
mention that I consider this name an abomination.)  Sorry, I didn't see enough
of the language itself to make any helpful comments.
