Worse languages ever.

Jack Sparrow: “… but you have heard of them.”

The dustbin of programming languages is jam packed with elegant, technically terrific, languages that never went anywhere.

C and C++ are languages that brought us UNIX, the Linux kernel, macOS and Windows, the interpreters of virtually every other language in the world, powering virtually all software in the world as well as the vast majority of embedded devices.

Chill the fuck out.

Except for all the others.
