Mark Rendle humorously combines the worst features, syntax, and runtime behaviors of various programming languages into one terrible abomination.
There's something good you can say about every programming language. But that's no fun. Instead, let's take the worst features of all the languages we know, and put them together to create an abomination with the worst syntax, the worst semantics, the worst foot-guns and the worst runtime behaviour in recorded history. Let's make a language so bad it would make people run screaming to Visual Basic for Applications. Check out more of our featured speakers and talks at ndcconferences.com/ ndcoslo.com/Why it's here
