I’ve been working with such a poorly documented application that five minutes of debugging can save me hours of reading documentation. Thanks Microsoft.

As guy who hate French language and was learning in 1999 I can confirm it was pain to read the topic of lesson and the date. I was so happy when we switched to 2000.

Whole generations of French students that have no idea they escaped having to write “mille neuf cent quatre-vingt dix-neuf” over and over again, in cursive of course.

If you think French is bad…


<span style="color:#323232;">// Danish
</span><span style="color:#323232;">farve = "#(9+½+5)FFAA"
</span>
rclkrtrzckr OP ,

Please elaborate. Any background on this?

alr ,

The Danish word for 99 is nioghalvfems, which literally means “nine and half five.” Which you could be forgiven for assuming meant 11½. The trick is that a) “half five” actually means 4½, as in half less than five, and b) it’s implied that you’re supposed to multiply the second part by 20. So the proper math is 9 + (-½ + 5) * 20 = 99.

Hey, now. It is possible to write readable Perl code—it’s just less interesting that way. 😜
