        This gotta be ragebait, everyone know that a language isn’t bad or good only for a single thing, hell there is no bad language, the reason why “python is better” is because you use it to make kids learn how to program, this is a good use, every other use is just…not good since it’s slow as hell and the indented syntax make it hell to write with but i’il gave you that python > go for making kids learn.

            Don’t you fucking dare speak badly of my beloved Brainfuck

            In fact, take this fully functional Fibonacci sequence generator I did some time ago, so you can repent from your blasphemy by looking at its beauty.

            That isn’t a bad language. It’s pretty simple and it serves a cool purpose, which is to convey the power of a Turing machine. Now this is a bad programming language.

              Malbolge is great for replying to anyone who claims that since programming languages are Turing-complete, any one of them is fit for the job.

                You can transpile from C to Malbolge and then run it (this will probably take forever for most of C programs). I thought it can be used for obfuscation, and sure enough Wiki already states that:

                Hisashi Iizawa et al. also proposed a guide for programming in Malbolge for the purpose of obfuscation for software protection

        I love Python because it’s actually the second best language to do anything. For concurrency, Go is better. Also, you are terribly naive to judge a language only by its syntax.
