Lol, I occasionally write code like that by accident :P

self-documenting code at its finest!!
I like medium level languages. If you go really low level then everything gets hard to understand. This is a well written hello world program
You guys remember Qbasic, you could put your entire program in one line of code as long as you put a colon between statements.Code:title Hello World Program
dosseg
.model small
.stack 100h
.data hello_message db 'Hello, World!',0dh,0ah,'$'
.code
main proc
mov ax,@data
mov ds,ax
mov ah,9
mov dx,offset hello_message
int 21h
mov ax,4C00h
int 21h
main endp
end main
Code:DECLARE SUB Greet():DIM SHARED greeting$ = "Hello World":CALL Greet():SYSTEM:SUB Greet():? greeting$:END SUB
QBasic! Those were the days.
Yeah, I loved how we had to identify each symbol's type with a % for integer, & for floats, and $ for strings. :content:
Perl is great for hacking up a quick script to do some weird slicing, etc. that's more sophisticated than you can achieve with the likes of sed/awk. It's just when someone spits out an oxymoron like "Object-Oriented Perl" that I start twitching. :)
