Adobe promised that Lingo was the future of 'PC and internet gaming'

Luckily by the time I had to learn to write that garbage I already coded in several other languages. Made it easier, but somehow more painful. I'm pretty sure that shit was designed so that executives could look at the code and pretend they understood what was going on. At least with 'common terms' it eliminated the need for commenting out most of the time. One line of code would take a paragraph of text lol.
