Jeez, but Cobol was the most long winded language I ever learnt
You have to type all of this just to print “Hello world” to screen:
*****************************
IDENTIFICATION DIVISION.
PROGRAM-ID. HELLO.
ENVIRONMENT DIVISION.
DATA DIVISION.
PROCEDURE DIVISION.
MAIN SECTION.
DISPLAY “Hello World!”
STOP RUN.
****************************
Still, it’s not as long-winded as
Assembler-Z80-Console…
quin
I don’t think assembly code is really counts as a programming language; it’s just the core instructions that the chip runs on.
COBOL is silly. I still know Z80 assembly code…
Of course, if you’re after a programming language which is really obscure, you should try Ook.

aahhh… the ease of python;
#!/usr/bin/env python
print “Hello World”
or if you want to get more technical;
#!/usr/bin/env python
print “Hello World”
base = 30
height = 17.62
area = base * height
print area
