Beowulf: COBOL. The creators should have been drug out into the street and shot.
Right in the head. Execution style. I mean, what the hell? Were these people complete freakin masochists? Could it possibly be more verbose? How the hell did this become the dominant business language back in the day? Eight pages. Eight ungodly pages for a 15 line print out. I could have done it in C++ in less than one page. And that's accounting for the fact that I'm a horrible programmer and would probably write a hell of a lot of unecessary code. That eight pages of typing doesn't even include having to type out the input file. What the hell were these people thinking?

Mood: uh, angered at people who I hope are dead
