      I know it’s wrong, but there’s something about the forbiddenness of JS that makes it sexy.

      Oh, baby, you wanna do what with my strings?

      Jokes aside, Scala or Haskell, hands down. Those are sexy languages that make gorgeous code.

            Well, actually, [no it isn’t].(https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compatibility_of_C_and_C%2B%2B)

            There are obviously lots of things in C++ that doesn’t work in C, but there’s also lots of stuff in C, especially from 1999 onwards, that isn’t valid C++.

    Spanish / Portuguese … but can’t explain why. I think it’s mostly cultural vibe based.

    Gotta say, for me, all the techy programming language replies in here are pretty lame. It’s fine that the fediverse leans techy at this stage, great even. But a thread like this was really looking for some linguistics and personal experiences with learning and understanding languages. If you can’t help but turn any topic into one about programming, that’s cool, but doesn’t mean you have to add some noise (seriously a ruby v Python conversation in a thread about seductive human languages?!) to every conversation that happens to use the word “language”.

        Right … so finding a bunch of people to be off-base and being willing to say so means I must be in an irreconcilably bad mood?!

        The idea is pretty simple … there is such a thing as providing an unwelcome or tone-deaf contribution to a conversation, and there’s such a thing as letting people know without wanting to be too mean or aggressive about it. It’s not a bid deal, it’s a fairly social thing, and no one needs to get or be upset about it.

        Beyond that, if you’re one to support or welcome a sort-of Reddit culture of hijacking threads, well I’d suspect that would be one of the things best left behind, simply because it allows communities and threads to be user friendly and foster whatever cultures they want. Allowing and encouraging a culture that accepts people roaming all over the place hijacking whichever parts of lemmy they want would, IME, only degrade the experience for everyone else.

        IMO, if people wanted to divert this into something about programming languages … that’s cool … cross-post to the appropriate community and go from there.

      The beauty of a threaded conversation platform is that you can just close threads you’re not interested in. Or, apparently, start a new thread bitching about them.

        Yeah, I didn’t think German was anything special until a few years ago when I attended a German language group just for fun, on a whim. There was a native speaker there that I spoke to, and unexpectedly I just… I don’t even know.

        Anyhow, we ended up dating for a while.

        Still have a weakness for the German language.
