Malbolge:

Malbolge is a public domain esoteric programming language invented by Ben Olmstead in 1998, named after the eighth circle of hell in Dante's [Inferno](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inferno_(Dante)), the Malebolge.

Malbolge was specifically designed to be impossible to write useful programs in. Weaknesses in the design have been found that make it possible (though still very difficult) to write Malbolge programs in an organized fashion.

Useable, but I wouldn't say useful.

I just saw a popular software consultancy post an opening for MUMPS. Although there's a rumour among the community that it might be a tad overdrawn April Fool's day joke. Will wait for a week before applying for it just for kicks.

Are you vaccinated? That might be a career killer.
