personally i don't miss it at all, c++11 is so much better
and it's a shame the compiler i have to use doesn't support c++17 yet
Joseph Reed
I actually programmed in Eiffel: it was shit.
An actually good forgotten language is TCL
Samuel Kelly
I really enjoy Pascal keywords, I like using words like begin and end instead of {}
Isaac Reyes
REXX (AREXX).
Leo Wright
Actionscript 3 was pretty good (compared to the horrific v2)
Christian White
Delphi
Cameron Gomez
blitz basic
Jason Watson
MZX Robotic.
MZX was a game engine, and entities (aka 'robots') within it were programmed using it.
The use of goto was everywhere, but with a twist. You could include multiple identical labels, each either in an active or inactive state. Goto would then execute from the first active label. Robots could also cause other robots to goto a label.
Programming groups and/or swarms of them was fun.
David Ramirez
Fuck sake man. We've got plenty of scripts around here written in tcl, as well as full gui supported tools. Even 40yo guys knowing it hate sustaining that crap.
And we are doing full retard c/pp stuff all the time
Dominic Walker
Java Unironically :^)
Henry Bailey
Fortran, PL/I, Algol60, Modula2
Christian Perry
Smalltalk.
Ayden Roberts
My teacher is coding an interpreter using delphi so I don't think it's that forgotten.
Nicholas Gutierrez
The GUI-based language in the Warcraft 3 map editor
that is unironically how I learned programming I think
Kayden Foster
This
Blitz Basic was my jam back in the day
Jose Roberts
Malbolge
Gabriel Lewis
Prolog
Daniel Ward
MSVC? Both GCC and Clang support c++17
Owen Moore
I was big in Perl, but it seems like that ship has sailed for good
Blake Howard
F
Ryan Hernandez
Cobra was beautiful. Hope they reboot it. cobra-language.com
Jose Morales
I personally really love Pascal's elegant syntax
Landon Reyes
Fortran
John Lopez
Not dead and is quite good. I suggest you try Teyjus implementation of Lambda Prolog.
Nicholas Murphy
prolog, I find it beautiful but meh.
Owen White
Tried using TCL once. It's pretty awkward if you need anything more complex than an array.
It's such a shame that Perl 5 is dying.
Liam Turner
Haskell, Lisp and Scala
Dylan Campbell
TI BASIC and the logic creator in Timesplitters Future Perfect's mapmaker mode. Both were instrumental for me learning programming before I ever took a formal class or ever touched a "real" language.
Aaron Russell
Standard ML
Brody Hughes
I second Prolog. Really fun language.
Thomas Allen
My nigga, nice dubs
Using Tcl is completely legitimate. You can do some pretty dope stuff with it, even implement mondas. Its got some elements similar to lisp as well.
Gavin Adams
This. I wish that operating system GUI primitives were as easy to work with as Morphic.
Justin Kelly
QBASIC - Still enjoying it because there's a modern fanmade version of it.
Lincoln Green
Forth
Anthony Miller
sml still has a few niches where it's used, mainly academic research stuff.
Ryder Lee
Easton Wright
Macromedia Flash
Hudson Nguyen
C
Anthony Hill
Not a language but I feel like I missed out on the punch cards experience.
Henry Lopez
JS ES5
Alexander Moore
By that measure, no language is forgotten since there's always someone using it.
Delphi was comfy, i was making icewind dale clone in it but then found out about haskell.
Jeremiah Gomez
Pascal
Jackson Smith
So does MSVC 2017 but sometimes your company blocks the major version for the tooling.
Andrew Butler
AutoIt... do people use it?
Michael Allen
My nigga, it was my first language
Jeremiah Thompson
Only ever used it to automate clicks in mmorpgs
Matthew Moore
same tbqh
Thomas Davis
You must mean FORTRAN.
Fortran is alive and well.
Julian Myers
Ayden Cooper
Modula 2 will always be comfy.
Clipper 5x first actual programming job, so there is a soft spot.
My true love will always be C.
