Useful! is a concept by User:Maxsteele2 for the most useless computer language ever created. Evidently, the name is sarcasm and should be ignored.

Sample Programs

Hello World

This is how a Hello World program would appear in Useful!:

sdUH&^BGI*DEM,90fd,<*^)${CM*%M*(I()<BV#%m,z,.<(V%U<(_

gu$$YDGHn^mdmC$mc<?5m38R$%^ZpotAto7DIU(CFR%NB&(C#%B%(&#(&)C%N#NMX#X%NN(C#^B^bnnmy4&NB&*

Ack, now I have headache.

Quine

This outputs a quine:

YGTgh^R$@CV*TNM*O@NM^*$NM*OLOLOLOLAZERggyTYR&nm7%&(V*)#V%M*

Obviously, this prints YGTgh^R$@CV*TNM*O@NM^*$NM*OLOLOLOLAZERggyTYR&nm7%&(V*)#V%M*.

99 Bottles

This outputs the 99 bottles of beer lyrics:
