COBOL or even Assembler

Oi!
I won't have any bad words said about Assembly Languages.

Some of my most widely implemented achievements were written in Assember codely implemented achievements were written in Assember codely implemented achievements were written in Assember codely implemented achievements were written in Assember codely implemented achievements were written in Assember codely implemented achievements were written in Assember codely implemented achievements were written in Assember codely implemented achievements were written in Assember codely implemented achievements were written in Assember codely implemented achievements were written in Assember codely implemented achievements were written in Assember codely implemented achievements were written in Assember codely implemented achievements were written in Assember codely implemented achievements were written in Assember code.
And are still running (or stuck in a loop).

To be fair to TRUST, have you reflected on the amazing responsiveness that such a simple system offers? It looks and feels like direct access to a small dataset right in the local machine. That's one of the joys of a simple text-based query to a no-frills data table.

COBOL

Wow, a language even older than Elvish.

Assembler is fine, my father just makes jokes about how people said COBOL was a dead language 20 years ago and its still going today.

Simplicity is good I agree, but you do need a simple graphical front end on the local machine to make it easier to use.
