Did everyone forget about

A Case of the MUMPS

You may not realize it, but the majority of us developers have been living a sheltered professional life. Sure, we’ve got that living disaster of a C++ application and that ridiculous interface between PHP and COBOL written by the boss, but I can assure you, that all pales in comparison to what...

Another slightly tricker one of things you might have seen in the wild if you were unlucky enough:

#1.

/ start slaves
{value"\\q ",.z.x[1]," -p ",string x}each p:(value"\\p")+1+til"I"$.z.x 0;

/ unix (comment out for windows)
\sleep 1

/ connect to slaves
h:neg hopen each p;h@\:".z.pc:{exit 0}";h!:()

/ fields queries. assign query to least busy slave
.z.ps:{$[(w:neg .z.w)in key h;[h[w;0]x;h[w]:1_h w];                    /response
 [h[a?:min a:count each h],:w;a("{(neg .z.w)@[value;x;`error]}";x)]]}  /request

#2.

import Html exposing (..)
import Html.App as App
import Html.Attributes exposing (..)
import Html.Events exposing (..)

-- ... snip ...
-- UPDATE
type Msg
  = MorePlease
  | FetchSucceed String
  | FetchFail Http.Error

update : Msg -> Model -> (Model, Cmd Msg)
update msg model =
  case msg of
    MorePlease ->
      (model, getRandomGif model.topic)
    FetchSucceed newUrl ->
      (Model model.topic newUrl, Cmd.none)
    FetchFail _ ->
      (model, Cmd.none)

-- VIEW
view : Model -> Html Msg
view model =
  div []
    [ h2 [] [text model.topic]
    , button [ onClick MorePlease ] [ text "More Please!" ]
    , br [] []
    , img [src model.gifUrl] []
    ]

#3.

type CompletelyDisjointed = { foo: number, bar?: never } | { foo?: never, bar: string };

function myFunction(x: CompletelyDisjointed): string | number {
    if (typeof x.bar === 'string') {
        return x.bar;
    } else {
        return x.foo;
  }
}

#4.

http(:/("what.eldrich.evil.is.this") >:+ { (headers, req) =>
  headers("content-type").filter {
    _.contains("text/html")
  }.headOption.map { _ =>
    req </> { nodes => (nodes \\ "h1").text }
  }.getOrElse {
    req >> { _ => "unknown content type" }
  }
})

Q - it's an APL-like ... 'nuough said.
Elm - looks like Haskell, but only compiles to JavaScript
TypeScript 2.0
Scala (the symbol soup is from the Dispatch Classic library, but now you know why Scala has the reputation it has)

If I'd been running the questionnaire,

I would have put all the possible answers under all the questions, to weed out guessing-by-elimination to some degree.

Gąska

@svieira I'm not 100% sure (hell, not even half-sure!), but #2 looks like Haskell and #3 looks like Scala.

@anonymous234 #6: Just because you ran cat /initrd.img does not mean it's a valid program.

Magus

@masonwheeler No. We're the only one that uses this language, because this company invented it 30 years ago.

HQ9+

That could be HQ9+, HQ9++, or HQ9+-

Output is:

Hello world
HQ9+
[insert 99 bottles of beer song lyrics]

At the end of the program execution, the accumulator would be incremented by 1, but there's no way to access that value.

Captain

@Gąska It's Haskell inspired, but Haskell's type keyword defines type synonyms, not concrete data types. Also, the Haskell "is a" symbol is ::, not :. Also, it appears to have ViewPatterns on by default.

I think it might be Idris or Frege or Curry or something. (Haskell was definitely a good guess, though)

@masonwheeler
Because it hides in the corner and covers its eyes any time you look at it?

@Gaska / @Captain - I've updated with an answer key ... nice guesses

It could also be brainfuck, whitespace, etc. :P

current-decade hipster and esoteric languages

On the other hand, the avid WTDWTF reader will have been exposed to most of this menagerie of languages. Go from ben_lubar, ruby from our favourite forum software, ~~brainfuck~~JS from the current one, and Visual Basic from the original one.

Was community server written in VB.NET? KILL IT WITH FIRE!!!

No sir, I don't like it

Pffft. You're not even a real horse.

Guess this language:

io_needed   	  	   
	
start_of_module example_mod    		  	 	
	
start_of_routine start    		 		  
	
io_write_to_console_the_string "Hello," sp "World!"  		 		  
	
end_of_routine start    		 				
	
end_of_module example_mod    	 		  
	
thank_you_and_goodbye
