While everyone is hating proper programming languages... Let's talk about quotes in batch files.

What the actual fuck did Bill smoke while developing this boolshit?

set foo=bar

Perfectly valid

@Kimmax actually i wanted to concat a variable with a string and - that's where the voodoo kicks in - wanted whitespace between them. Works perfectly without it (if i use quotes surrounding the definition) but it throws an error when there is whitespace.

This syntax does not make any fuckin sense in my world...
