Sup prog. I was just curious as to what is the most obsolete or useless programming language you know.
I myself learned Atari BASIC in high school, and regret my time wasted to this day. I have yet to come across something BASIC does that can't be done better, faster or more efficiently in C, Perl, etc. BASIC's only impact on the world of programming as far as I'm concerned is that it taught kids to write sloppy code way before Java did.
Anyone else have a similar experience?

Oh god, your not that stupid german fuck, are you?
I use OpenScript at work. I swear to God, I've never seen anything like this.
First of all, there are only variables and arrays. That's all the typing there is. You can assign a number, a string, or an object to any variable.
The object-oriented part is designed to be used by mental deficients: instead of "object.member" it's "member OF object". Instead of "this->member" it's "MY member". Instead of "function(*this)" it's "function(SELF)".
It's like a goddamn retarded Visual BASIC.

- all except C
It's all I ever needed (well, plus some scripting languages but they're not real programming languages).

probably apple basic, I've used it a fair bit when I'm screwing around on the ][c, but that hardly counts as useful 24 years later
My own programming language I invented. I call it ABC. It uses three instructions. A B and C.
A - increment the accumulator
B - decrement the accumulator
C - print out accumulator as a number.
So for example, printing out 1337 would be:
acaaccaaaac
My phone number would be:
aaaaacbbbbcaacbbbbbbbbbbcaaaaaaaaaacaaaaacbbbbbbbbbbbcaaacaaacc
Actually, aacaac. It's a syntactic sugar for a while loop, if you look closer.

No, that's printing out the number 4. Here's some basic tasts for you to do in ABC:
1. Print "Hello, world!"
2. Calculate the sum of all prime numbers up to 100.
3. Predict what >>69 will say.

Thats the beauty of ABC programming. No calculations. You can show the result of PI if you felt like coding forever. I also extended ABC greatly in ABC-AT (Advanced Text).

I would love to see that.

ABC is not a programming language. It's just a retarded way to count.

Where C outputs ASCII.

Ok this shit is just plain retarded. Especially when it comes to outputting ascii characters.
To print the letter 'l' as the first letter of the first word i would have to have 108 a instructions.
I'm writing ;;The ABC Programming Language~~. Expect the release in a week.

I'm going to go wit logo. Although making the turtle move in crazy patterns is spiritually soothing, I have yet to find an ENTERPRISE job where I can make use of this.
