The Worst Programming Environment in the World?
Kind of reminds me of MUMPS, which is a real bunch of crazy that I had to use for a time.<p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MUMPS" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MUMPS</a><p>Edit: The examples on the wikipedia page make it look less crazy than it is.  For example every keyword can be abbreviated to a single letter, and <i>was</i> abbreviated to a single letter in the code I had to read.  Also, each variable is connected to a global database which (in 1990) had no ACID properties or staging system, so better hope your undebugged program didn't delete any patient data (or worse, randomly modify it).
