I wonder why no one's mentioned HTML. It is a language, and if you were typing on an IDE without closing-tag-matching, it's an absolute nightmare to work with. Thankfully, I've largely gotten jobs with backend programming so I've not had to wrestle too much.

I'm assuming because by technicality it isn't a "programming" language. I've always found HTML easy to read and comprehend though, but hey - that's just my opinion.
