10 Most Bizarre Programming Languages Ever Created
-
There is nothing more frustrating for a web developer than spending hours at a time fixing a bug that should just work. Often I’ll get stuck in a programming state that feels like I have absolutely no idea what I’m doing, as if the language I’m using (CSS, PHP, whatever), is actually a foreign language.
What is the most bizarre language you have ever worked with?
Three sentences for getting success: a) Know more than others. b) Work more than others. c) Expect less than others. "William Shakespeare"

Most modern programming languages do not consider white space characters (spaces, tabs and newlines) syntax, ignoring them, as if they weren’t there. We consider this to be a gross injustice to these perfectly friendly members of the character set. Should they be ignored, just because they are invisible? Whitespace is a language that seeks to redress the balance. Any non whitespace characters are ignored; only spaces, tabs and newlines are considered syntax.
WHY?!?!?

COBOL. Come to think of it, they're all bizarre. What we need is a Plain En&^%$#&^$&*$786478.....

VB and PHP are top of my list. I have worked in several open source projects including MyBB and Drupal. But could never like PHP. It is just not 'fun'! Same goes for VB. I could never really fall in love with that.

LISP was pretty weird, though XSLT is the strangest language I've actually used for work. Though, regular expressions might be considered a language in their own right, and they're pretty weird too.

The reporting language for a product I used to work on was the wierdest I've ever used although nothing is worse the Malbolge at least not yet. This reporting language didn't even have a name it was just reporting script but it was unlike anything else, 5 sections to Cobols 4 ( I hope I got that right ) and each one had a different syntax from really readable stuff in one section like ORDER BY CUSTOMER to a bunch of /g style switches in another. It did the job however and the job was a scary one, multi-dimensional database analysis at speeds that would make Larry Ellison X| with envy.

I certainly prefer Regular Expressions to XSLT and XPath.
