AppleScript may be the only read-only programming language in existence.
- sethrin 9y agoDepending on your definition of programming language, that crown might actually go to HAGGIS. It's an "educational" programming language which is not executable (or intended to be). It's possibly the worst idea in the history of computing, and that it is taught to anyone is (IMO) a public offense. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HAGGIS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HAGGIS

- dTal 9y agoI get that vibe from Inform 7: the famous Dijkstra’s algorithm reads like English, but I'd have no idea how to write such a program.
- throwaway7645 9y agoInform7 is mostly for text adventures. I'm sure it's not bad if you give it a go as many people with little to no coding experience write expansive text games using it.
- mpweiher 9y agoI am still waiting for the combination of Perl and Applescript. You have to write it in Applescript, but you get to read it only in transliterated Perl.
