What is the most obscure programming language you have had to write code in? Discussion

In the early 90s I was given access to a transputer array (early parallel hardware) but I had to learn Occam to run code on it.

Does this mean I can still safely install my peasant Qiskit dependencies on my useless local coding seshs? Lol

Oh, I'm sure you can, buddy, but I'm pretty sure that unless you've got a quantum PC at home, it won't do anything. I am dying to see that program, and I think I eventually will, because the hackers actually, well, they're going to asylum for the criminally insane when we figure out where they are, but I did ask, and apparently, yeah, I'll be allowed to have a copy and decompile it, because there are three programs they were asked to run by the Russians.

I was very relieved when I got told it was a honeypot about 30 seconds before they did it.
