A programming thread!

ankhtahr:
So I'm surprised to see that we don't really have a programming thread. We do have one, but it's from 2006.

I've just started to read "Learn you some Erlang for great good", a Erlang-guide based on the relatively well known "Learn you a Haskell for great good". It's good!

So what obscure programming languages do you enjoy, what anecdotes do you have to tell?

Alas, I don't seem to have much aptitude for programming aside from just enough Perl to keep my systems running properly.   Haskell certainly looks interesting, though.  I do remember taking a programming class (which I had to drop due to my aforementioned lack of skill in that area) in which another student actually took it upon himself to complete one assignment in brainfuck.  I left before I found out as to whether or not he was successful.

Pilchard123:
Oh no, this is going to turn into another pun war. It's going to SNOBOL out of control!

cesium133:
I use Fortran pretty regularly, though I'm not sure if that counts as obscure. It's still used a lot in physics.

As for esoteric languages, I think I've mentioned previously on the forum that I've written a subroutine call setup in Shakespeare. I went looking on my hard disk, though, and couldn't find it.

ChaoSera:
The only language that might count as obscure and that I've used so far is mIRC Script.
At work i use almost exclusively Java, apart from the occasional bash or XSLT Script. Right now I have to debug a shitload of Tests, because it's QA Phase now. I hate QA. My own stuff that I developed for this version is already tested and functional, so now I have to spend my time gonig through all the general tests, which are partly old and use principles we have since abandoned, so I now have to partly rewrite them.
