Axo
From Esolang
axo is a language inspired by Befunge, invented by Jannis Harder in 2004. "axo" is pronounced like the german words "ach so".
Here is the short spec from the axo2i.c header (axo 1 was an alpha version. axo 2 is the final version):
/********************************* AXO 2 *********************************\
|* "" string mode (s) '' raw mode (r) command mode (c) *|
|* ^ < > % move up/left/right/down (s/c) *|
|* + - * push pop2 <operator> pop1 (s/c) *|
|* / push pop2 / pop1 ; push pop2 % pop1 (s/c) *|
|* \ exit program (s/c) *|
|* & push dequeue (c) *|
|* | enqueue pop (c) *|
|* $ move {up/left/right/down}[pop%4] (c) *|
|* || push 10 (s) *|
|* # skip if pop == 0 (c) *|
|* [ ] dup # pop (c) *|
|* ( ) putc # getc (-1 on eof) (c) *|
|* { } putint # getint (line input) (c) *|
|* : . store in register a # b (c) *|
|* ; , load from register a # b (c) *|
|* ? random move (c) *|
|* _ home (goto 0,0 heading right) (c) *|

|* ! rotate 90^ cw (c) *|
|* = push mem[pop1%2048] ; mem[pop1%2048] = pop2 (c) *|
|* ~ debug *|
|* stack: 32bit-signed | empty = 0 | mem: 2048*32bit-signed *|
