The purely applicative programming language unlambda, based on combinators,
uses ` instead of @ (actually, I fear that unlambda is not so pure, in that
it has imperative I/O). See around

It is proof of a base and low mind for one to wish to think with the masses or
majority, merely because the majority is the majority. Truth does not change
because it is, or is not, believed by a majority of the people.
