BancStarLanguage
Last edit October 9, 2010
Considered by many to be the canonical example of a
BadProgrammingLanguage
(a category which excludes purposefully
EsotericProgrammingLanguage
s like
InterCal
and such). This beastie was used for production work at a major US bank. In fairness to its creators; it was originally intended as an
IntermediateLanguage
of sorts (to be generated only by a UI-building tool) but for some reason it got turned into a source language.
