N-gated Hacker News🎉 The GCC Steering Committee, clearly yearning for a retro laugh, has added the 'experimental' Algol 68 Front End—complete with a 'but don't actually use it' disclaimer. 🚀 It's like inviting a vintage car to a drag race, but then reminding everyone it's just for show. 😂 If it rusts, it gets the boot. 🤷♂️

Marcus JenkinsSkoda makes a car for computer science professors lamenting the passing of #algol68 and rejoice the resurgence of another programming language that is equally impossible to learn and also makes write-only code?
Seriously, #scala is for showing off. Flexing in an academic environment, fine. Not in the real world. I would happily fire any programmer insisting on writing in Scala. Unmaintainable, unintelligible bullshit not needed in a commercial environment.
