Re^2: What programming language do you hate the most?

While I agree about the critic I don't think SQL belongs into this list of "programing languages".

It's hardly Turing complete (see SO is-sql-or-even-tsql-turing-complete ) and rarely used as such.

More an embedded external DSL for querying data.

HTML, CSS and regexes are other examples of DSLs which are not really typical programming languages.

You are welcome to point me to a GUI or CGI application implemented exclusively in SQL. ;) Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language and ☆☆☆☆ :) Wikisyntax for the Monastery}	[reply]

Heh. Creating the (text-based) UI is doable, waiting for results is not, as it is a query language. The extensions to the language (t-sql, pl/sql, etc..) make it more interesting, though. Fwiw, i once created a query to make an arrow shoot up the screen in a terminal. Not useful at all, but a fun way to learn the language and its extensions.	[reply]
