TLDR: Programmers hate pretty much every language they'll ever have to use.
Which is why I'm surprised JavaScript isn't on the list
Wow I just started taking a bunch of computer science courses and it's great to finally understand what all these crazy words mean
how about "brainfuck"?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brainfuck
odd, there was an entire catalog of "hello world" on wikipedia, anyone knows how to restore it?

The deletionists on WP won't let you restore it but it looks like you found it on The Wayback Machine.
FORTRAN. My uni makes us learn it because professors are stubborn dumbasses. It's an obselete and outdated language.
Not a catalog, just some guy writing an article hslf based on his professors butthurt preferences.
Seriously though, pythons use of indentation is annoying
This could be renamed "Person with no programming experience rephrases Wikipedia articles about common languages!"
Come back when you have someone who's had to fuck around with CLISP or RPG or PLSQL.
