Zimbu is a programming language from the inventor of VIM. Zimbu “takes the good ideas of existing languages, drops the bad parts and adds a few brand new ideas”.

One of the more interesting ideas? Check out this code block

MAIN()
IO.write(“Hello, World!\n”)
}

You close the block with a curly brace. But you don’t begin the block with a curly brace. Baffling. This defies every programming law on earth. Ruby sort of does this too with the word “end” but for whatever reason that looks ok. An open curly brace? Yikes.
