Well, I've done some Visual Basic a while back, so I can see the truth to this one:

What brought that on? this. Original posting here.
Another example of this guy's lunacy here. |

A wise man once said, Siberia, that C combines the power of assembly language with the legibility of assembly language.
That was, of course, years before the introduction of PERL, a language in which if you leave your own code alone for two months, you'll have to reverse engineer it to figure out just what the hell you were thinking when you wrote it. PERL is now known as the world's most-used "write only" programming language.
Of course, worse languanges abound. Take brainf*ck, for example. And I've learned that someone has implemented an idea I had long ago. Hey, there's even a language out there with a single instruction (subtract and branch if negative) with which useful programs have been developed.
I once wrote an interpreter for a language called BEZ (named for its only conditional instruction - Branch if Equal to Zero), which was rather amusing. The language had no inherent way to call subroutines, but I actually wrote code with it to build and maintain a stack (luckily, you could branch unconditionally to addresses inside registers). |

None at all. I was posting on the SDMB about BEZ and other obscufatory languages, and simply asked myself what would be the most-difficult language to use. The answer quickly hit me: one in which the keywords, at least, are invisible. And that's all mine did, was make the keywords whitespace, whereas user-defined stuff was typed normally (per your example, " gun foot gun"). The link I provided earlier has everything invisible, though, which is an added bonus to impossibility of maintenance. |

| Yeah, well, me too. I'm busy using C to write an interpreter for a whole 'nother language these days. Lotta fun. |

Indeed! I've yet to put my lil fingers on C. My old compiler won't work on Windows XP  |

| Visual C++ 5.0 (a very old version, probably available for pennies) works fine under XP. I know because that's what I'm using here at home. |

I shall try it. I need my C.
I've got Eclipse, which compiles basically anything, but it's messing up with my pointers |

Wow, the whitespace interpreter is written in Haskell, which itself is interpreted (there was a compiler being worked on last time I used Haskell though). |

| Well, I've written an interpreter in Java, which is - technically speaking - interpreted. And surprisingly enough [sarcasm], the more I work on the interpreter I'm messing with now, the more it looks like Java. More focused on its particular task (simple games under Windows), but through this process I think I'm discovering why the Java developers made the design choices they did. And that, if nothing else, is making this effort worthwhile. |
