Useless and not marketable for a programmer position? BASIC, I guess.
anything that's not PHP or JS
What the fuck is with that picture by the way? At first glance, it looks like it's minified JavaScript, with everything on one line, variables like b and c. But there are tons of unneeded spaces, non-keywords that are still full names, which would make it a really bad minifier. Or is it just some nonsense to look like complex code?
Brainfuck, Whenever or Whitespace are probably the most amusingly useless. There is also LOLCODE, reMorse and l33t.
Those are more jokes/experiments than languages meant for actual work. Don't know if they count, but otherwise yeah, it would be all of those.
Probably nonsense, so people who don't code think we can see the matrix
Creeper LANG.
Visual Basic, it's what I learned but it's honestly pretty useless for most things these days
That's actually a really annoying misconception when trying to teach people how to code. They'll think it's some kind of black magic while it's really just a bunch of very simple and clear instructions (at beginner level)...
Haskell. Its a neat learning language but nobody gets paid to write Haskell code.
Or maybe something ancient like Cobol
You'd be surprised how many companies still have some business critical process running fucking Cobol or Fortran.

These are all jokes, I feel like it'd be unfair to compare them to other languages
most, if not all of them are Turing complete
Still they are jokes
If it's not broke don't fix it
Sure, but there's also SPOFs.
Haskell is being used.
I like MOO.
Anyone who can't code assembly is a pleb and should JMP off a bridge.
also, just the amount of google results for "CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER"
fucking hell
Scratch
theres only one language where even the comparison operator are useless
Underrated
Why? Because he can name one instruction? Also, JMP-ing off a bridge would pretty much instantly teleport you there. I'm pretty sure it won't kill you.
Fortran
or assembly.
Or binary.
Fortran and assembly are used. "Binary" is not a coding language.

and while used, fortran and assembly are slow and inefficient to code compared to modern languages, unless all you want is a bubble sort or to use SPSS.

Pascal
I won, goodnight
They are, but as pointed out before Fortran is still used in some business-critical shit at a lot of companies, so there's money there if you can code it, and assembly has a lot of low-level use-cases where speed is absolutely critical. You can bet large videogame engines like UE4 are part assembly.
Yet assembly is used e.g. in µCPU
End.
I am amused and saddened at the same time that you took the time to do that.

you meant Java
know a guy who gets shitloads of $$$ by coding in Delphi.

Fortran or Cobol. They both suck arse.
Your life literally depends on COBOL running/being maintained. It's frightening.

Damn, I used to love Delphi. Borland was a force for good in the world.
I've actually had jobs and been paid to work in these languages
Fortran IV (first job, moved to 66 about 3 months in and later 77)
Business Basic (early attempt to make basic a full structured language)
Pascal (did anyone else ever use this outside of school?)
Microsoft Fortran (on an 8086 DOS pc)
Microsoft Macro Assembler (for the functionality above did not have)
Interpretive Basic (as a scripting language)
IBM Rexx (or is this still used?)
How are you still alive? You sound like 180 years old.
>You sound like 180 years old.
Not quite, but I do feel like that some days.
I started programming right after school. I got lucky on the draft, and it was better then accounting.
I spent most of my life at the cutting edge of tech, programming at a time when most people couldn't quite comprehend computers. Using the internet when most people thought it was SciFi.
I retired when Java and Perl were big. Now I can barely use my phone.
Exactly.
I've heard all banks pretty much still use cobol so it's not as useless as you think
RPG still being used? Was my specialty for many years before I got out of the field.
From 20 years of experience:
Every programming language sucks in almost every case and shines in certain niches.
And for those regarding Fortran as outdated, go for scientific computing and your choice in general is limited to C/Fortran and C++ for code that is close to the hardware but still portable to different platforms. If you just have to shuffle some values and use a library that does 99% of the work, languages like Python are used as well.
me too, when i was like 15. moved to C later, since i started using linux everywhere.
Still, Delphi was fun. wrote shitloads of stuff in that.
LISP
No mention of "dolphin" dead language and useless
js is java script turd
BASIC
REXX was the bomb. Modern-day Python associative dict (adict) syntax made monster data structures natural. I see it's kind of maybe coming back a little in niches.
this
you learned everything about threads and processes and how to make your own compiler and bootable operating system with assembly and C in your first year?
Surprisingly lisp is still in use, but anything written in lisp should be rewritten in python or forth for use in the modern age
It's jquery minified you retard
Really pretty infuriating when people reward themselves on 'not doing the whole computer thing'
and Java is not JavaScript
you know the esoteric programming language called chicken chicken?
Baby Language.
It ignores your command and generates a command at random, the only way to get anything done is to keep running the command until it finally does it.
I think its a version of python that can run it.
There really isnt one.
Ive seen people looking for Cobol and Fortran recently
hell you could probably get a gig writing up ms dos batch files if you were desperate
A friend of mine wrote some code pre-y2k for payroll for a (now) fortune 500 company. The whole payroll system, as he describes it is a house of cards that relies on some quick program he wrote less than a year out of college. He's had to modify it twice in 20 years and it's still in use today. It's job security, and a key reason he's had his job for 20 years because there's nobody left they trust to modify it in an emergency.
YFW you've been gainfully employed for 20 years and you're going to retire with a fat pension because of some undocumented 100kb cobol routine you wrote while hungover in 1997.
