Hey guys, what's the most useless programming language you've ever learnt? Ever picked up a programming language that turned out to be completely useless (at least for your career)? I spent months learning Ruby for a project that got canceled, and now I rarely use it. Another friend had to learn COBOL for a legacy system—he described it as “coding archaeology.” 😂 I wanna know leh, what's really the most "waste time" coding language out there?

COBOL feels like a classic answer, but mine was Prolog. I learned it for a uni assignment, and I’ve never touched it again since. Feels like solving logic puzzles for fun, which is cool, but so niche.
