There are also books written in an E-Prime english. In E-Prime you can't use any form of "to be"(is, are etc.).

Though that's less restricted writing for the joy of it and more a philosophical claim that "nothing is, everything does." In other words, the use of "be" to define two things to be equivalent acts as a short-circuit to convince people of a relation without doing the work to demonstrate it.
