well … we all know the perfect programming language was created way back in 1960
Ugh, for my work we maintain a software add-in written in Lisp and it's a nightmare to work on
And that link somehow doesn't open well for me, something about a bracket I believe
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lisp_(programming_language)I thought that link was going to point to this other great programming language
(What do (you) mean? ( Lisp certainly has its (downsides) and (upsides)))
(do (What) (you mean))
(has Lisp (and (its downsides) (its upsides)))
[Lisp would be a VSO language]
You're wrong. COBOL is obviously the most perfect language since it can be easily written by managers and people who don't know how to program, right?
