The most useless language you know?

Name: Anonymous 2008-02-14 11:31

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?

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.

I would love to see that.
