This presentation was recorded at YOW! 2014. #GOTOcon #YOW https://yowcon.com Mark Rendle - Creator of Visual ReCode with 7 Microsoft MVP Awards & 30+ Years of Experience Building Software @that_rendle RESOURCES https://twitter.com/markrendle https://github.com/markrendle https://linkedin.com/in/markrendle ABSTRACT There's something good you can say about every programming language. But that's no fun. Instead, let's take the worst features of all the languages we know, and put them together to create an abomination with the worst syntax, the worst semantics, the worst foot-guns and the worst runtime behaviour in recorded history. Let's make a language so bad it would make people run screaming to Visual Basic for Applications.
