      Of course not — there's no point giving a language which is familiar to half of the competitors! The intention is to have a language as unfamiliar as possible.

        Thank you for your reply! By the way,how can we learn the grammar of these special languages?We search by ourselves, or CF will show us? What's more, how can we get access to these fucking compilers ? Best regards to you ! :-)

          First, you really, really shouldn't curse the compilers — trust me, they are not that bad. Second, you will be able to run the code at Codeforces or install the compiler locally. As for the grammar, we will show only the very basic code, and you'll have to find a place to learn the rest — it's a research kind of contest.

            I'm grateful to your patience! Please forgive my words about compilers and my poor English. I think I got it. Sincerely wish you happiness and cheerfulness !

          btw, what you call grammar is actually syntax.
