What's Malbolge? ???

The hardest freaking programming language known to man. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malbolge)

Link is broken.

Fixed.

Darn, I'll never use that language. That almost looks like when you open an ASM program on-calc that you unlocked.

How is Malbolge powerful?  Its not even Turing complete!

It causes insanity in everyone who tries to program in it. That's a whole 'nother level of power.

^this seems to be a good point that should put it at the bottom of every list :P

Anyone want to make a malbolge interpreter for their calc. Actually it doesn't look to hard to make an interpreter. The hard part is just writing a program to run on it.

Several people have already made Brainf*ck interpreters, it's possible (and probably quite easy in BASIC).

Anyway, Malbolge edited to the bottom of the useful list.

Xeda, no! It's too dangerous a language for mankind.

TI-NSpire BASIC is better than Brainf*ck and Whitespace if it's with CAS I think. After all, NSpire BASIC is useful to solve math problems...

but if I could program in malbolge I would consider myself superior to all other programmers even if I'm using a turing incomplete language.

Then you go insane and end up jumping off a cliff to finish your understanding. Malbolge is not for us humans to learn only evil aliens
*ruler goes to build a malbolge zombie bunker
