/prog/ - The worst language

Name: Anonymous 2010-06-22 7:55

Which is according to /prog the most useless language out there?

If I have to decide, it's gonna be "mIRC scripting language".
The parser in mIRC sucks monkey balls. I don't know if it's statically type or dynamically typed, because if you get wrong space too much in something like an if statement, you get a syntax error.

OP here, because if you get a space too much.
Anyhow, since when is it accepted as a real programming language anyways?

p much any functional language

All of them except C. All languages compile into machine code; and C is just that (but human readable).
Anything more complicated than procedural instructions and ints/floats (perhaps even also strings, at a stretch) is just unoptimised bloat.

I have to agree with OP that mIRC's scripting language is terrible. It has many arbitrary limits, and you have to do the craziest things to work around them.

Why would you bother using mIRC as a client in the first place? Use a real client, like Irssi.

And then you can program all your scripts in glorious Perl.

VB 6.0 is probably the worst I've ever used.

Lisp. All it does is produce countless GJS wannabes.

Spanish is the worst language.

Any language that doesn't have an IDE with full refactoring capabilities (or pretty much anything besides Java)

Fjölnir is actually pretty neat. It's obviously a product of the '80s, but there are some concepts there that more languages should use.

I would say PHP as the worst language ever. As for most useless, probably one of the many esoteric languages that are simply copies of Brainfuck.

How can a copy of Brainfuck be more uselss than Brainfuck itself?

OP here, I use XChat.
mIRC sucks balls in general.

Anyhow, brainfuck is a joke, I mean, it really was made as a joke.

I was asking what the most useless language is, and I meant those that were actually made to be useful.

A fair number of things have actually been written in brainfuck. The same isn't true of its million variants.

An analogy to Lisp comes to mind.

A #sicp dweller would know better than to refer to himself as ``OP''. He'd also know why brainfuck exists, and would have a better grasp on grammar.
