Assembler, BASIC, Old C code, Cobol...
...Pascal, Fortran, Prolog, Lisp, Modern C code, PHP, Java, Python, C++, Lua, JavaScript, C#, Rust...
The list is infinite.
Show me a language in which it is impossible to write spaghetti code, and I'll show you someone who can't recognize spaghetti code when it's written in one of their favourite languages.
The obvious solution is to use Rust's upcoming "spaghetti checker" feature. Once the compiler decides that your code is too messy to be maintainable, it refuses to compile.
great, now the compiler wont let me modify my programs (i really should get better at coding because i seem to only know to do spaghetti)
thats exactly what the "you get the idea" line meant, i was only giving some examples because if i did itd be literally every language
(also modern c is spaghetti, but old c is even more. legacy code is spaghetti no matter the language)
