Assembly is complicated, difficult to read and maintain

Just in case you think that Assembly is complicated, difficult to read and maintain, etc - this is APL, apparently:


There are some other nice ramblings there

Which programming language amazes you the most?

Bash.

Not because Bash is good. Because Bash is an utter dumpster-fire and people still make heavy use of it.

Bash is so full of clunky syntax, arcane incantations and hacky workarounds that to call it a language is generous. It is so hard to read that it might as well be write only. It almost works to obfuscate programmer intent and disguise meaning.

Here is Hello World in Brainfuck:

++++++++[>++++[>++>+++>+++>+<<<<-]>+>+>->>+[<]<-]>>.>---.+++++++..+++.>>.<-.<.+++.------.--------.>>+.>++.

"bash" needs to be born again. Make it like Windows CMD.EXE and it could be useful.

Hello,

In the daily practice at work, I don't have any problem with bash. Simple commands to manage the systems. One does not always needs complicated bash syntax.

APL, named (I think) "a programming language" with false modesty. Shit looks like hieroglyphics.

Still, somebody's using it out there in the wild.

Anyone tested prolog?
Or you just skipped to epilogue?
