I’m probably the only guy on this site who remembers a “4GL” programming language called “Appgen”, aren’t I?
(Was just telling my kid about it. Totally fucking demented language. Everything was a function. *Everything*. )

What's wrong with everything being a function? That's how Haskell works
Well I was hungover a lot in those days and it was hard to parse.
Also, the function labels were not strings. They were just short, alphanumeric codes.
I’m not familiar with Haskell but when look at it now, it’s actually readable - and it has constructs like if/then/else and do/while constructs
And spaces. And new lines.
Appgen had none of that.
Couldn’t even find any info on it with a quick web search. 🤷♂️
It was the early 90’s and I think it was the concoction of a private company that went defunct by the mid-90’s.
Mark, one day we need to sit down together and play Atari 😀
