Pascal

A useless programming language one is forced to lean in high school, instead of a highly useful and relevant language like C, C++, Java, etc.

Mr. Pedersons AP Pascal class in 10th grade was the turning point - I could have been a successful high paid software engineer, but after having my soul crushed by that archaic monstrosity that I knew I would never use in any professional context, I ended up as a janitor cleaning toilets. I drink myself to sleep every night, sad and lonely in my van down by the river thinking of what could have been if they had taught me C instead.
