I only tried C++ for a few months and came away feeling stupid!
If you think that's bad, try APL... It was the first language I learnt and was fantastic for providing a true ability to make unreadable programs. At that time, I was using an IBM-2741 terminal (based on a Selectric typewriter) with the keys all being UPPERCASE unshifted, with each key then having a greek symbol on it as well.

These symbols could be used either with two arguments (dyadic) or one (monadic). Addition operators could be made by overtyping two greek symbols...
