I'm forced to learn Racket at University. What type of clusterfuck of a language is this?!

How come this shitty language doesn't even support floating point modulo and finding positions in a list...? Let alone those goddamn parentheses...

There's a language called Brainfuck. Look into it.

@Rudi9719 I know it. That language isn't praised by some University as the best language available, though.

*Sees example*
What the fuck... I already feel your pain man.

It actually looks like an interesting language. Especially where it describes writing other languages with it.

Syntax is hinky, but it's all about preference. Just look at objective c, and yet loads of people use it, and even prefer it in some ways.

The important part for your course is to learn programming, not to learn the language. You should be able to take what you have learnt and apply it to any language.

@Portugueasey Programming is my job already and we had to learn Java for the last two years already.

Ever heard of lisp?

Lisp and it's various dialects are incredibly interesting but can also be a monumental headache.
