Jeez, but Cobol was the most long winded language I ever learnt

You have to type all of this just to print “Hello world” to screen:

*****************************
IDENTIFICATION DIVISION.
PROGRAM-ID. HELLO.
ENVIRONMENT DIVISION.
DATA DIVISION.
PROCEDURE DIVISION.
MAIN SECTION.
DISPLAY “Hello World!”
STOP RUN.
****************************

Still, it’s not as long-winded as
Assembler-Z80-Console

  1. st0nes:

    aahhh… the ease of python;

    #!/usr/bin/env python
    print “Hello World”

    or if you want to get more technical;

    #!/usr/bin/env python
    print “Hello World”
    base = 30
    height = 17.62
    area = base * height
    print area

  2. quin:

    I don’t think assembly code is really counts as a programming language; it’s just the core instructions that the chip runs on.

    COBOL is silly. I still know Z80 assembly code…

    Of course, if you’re after a programming language which is really obscure, you should try Ook.
