COBOL, BASIC, Bj, those are old ones. BASIC wasn't too bad, but I had nightmares when I was learning COBOL to get my degree way back when. It was so very confusing in the beginning. After I got the hang of it, and understood it better, it wasn't bad at all.

I understand that there are companies still using COBOL.

Well me too, except in this case where the guy has a page with 1,000 links
on it that has to fit within a very tight memory chunk to be streamed by an
AS400 server.  Takes me back to the days when we had to write COBOL code to
fit into 64KB chunks, you think you've seen unreadable, try COBOL when it's
crammed up together and it modifies itself as it goes along using ALTER TO
