    Not sure if joking, but that looks like Perl.

    I haven’t used it in like 20 years. There is a way to write it so that it’s not insane. You can write it kind of like C. But no one does that. So you end up looking at this crap.

    It’s been referred to as a “write-only” language, as it’s not readable.

      I know the reference from my perl days but I beg to differ. I wrote well-structured perl code with plenty of comments. I like to believe those projects of mine could be useful to someone else.
