I’m just gonna go out on a limb and ruffle some feathers and say it’s node.js
Well, that’s a runtime. But yes, JavaScript.
regular javascript is actually okay in my book. It’s just node.js that I despise because of all it’s weirdness. Javascript should just be able to be opened in a browser and run with no fuss.

LOL yeah, I checked out the source repo for kbin because I was curious what it was written in and I saw a lot of PHP. I’m not a web dev so I don’t know PHP myself.
WordPress has made me the Python developer I am today.
Yes, but WordPress !== PHP. It’s one of the worst examples of what PHP can look like and they resolutely refuse to adopt modern standards or improve in any way. They still use SVN too. Bunch of backwards troglodytes.
People sure like to dunk on PHP. I’ll take whatever flak for this, but this is the kind of meme a .NET fanboy or Ruby on Rails bro would make when they haven’t touched any languages other then their prescious, and don’t know wtf they’re talking about.
PHP, after all these years, is STILL running 78% of all sites. That’s not because it’s garbage or the worst. It’s solid, reliable, mature and very well documented. And I say this as someone who has gladly moved to Python, but also work in in others.
PHP was the first language I did any significant coding in. I will never use it again if I can at all avoid it.
Pretty sure brain fuck should be on this list.
The point of “esoteric” programming languages like Brainfuck or Befunge is to be a source of puzzles for people who enjoy that kind of puzzle. They’re not “bad programming languages” any more than an escape room is a “bad apartment”.
Yuuuuup. PHP is the worst.
