While studying Computer Science as an undergrad, I took a SNOBOL course (or maybe it one of the languages taught in a general coding course) ...either way, it was glorious. I love languages that are 'task-oriented'. My all-time favorite was GPSS (General Purpose Simulation System) which would simulate transactions in a model...think of cars arriving from four directions at a traffic light. You could tweak the car arrival times and the length of red/green lights and get different outputs for 'wait time'. I loved it so much, I asked my professor if there were good opportunities for a career using GPSS. He answered 'no' (LOL) and so I never pursued it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPSS |
