A respectful response to everyone who thinks AI-assisted programming is just laziness with extra steps. There is a programming language so hostile to human cognition that its own creator never wrote a working program in it. Not a prototype. Not a proof-of-concept. Not even Hello World. The man who designed it, sat down to use it, and gave up. That language is Malbolge . It was created in 1998 as an act of deliberate cruelty. It was named after the eighth circle of Hell in Dante's Inferno .
