Languages

I think this thread is meant to flatter programmers and make linguists and sociologists extremely angry.

I suspect there’s more people who speak Python fluently than Esperanto. So that comparison sits very wrong with me. The rest was funny :)

Is this post sane-washing Russia? What’s left about Russia under Putin? Overall funny, though

the root of all modern languages

the whole universe used to speak it

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

P.S: the closest thing to that is Egyptian, but not the language, the Alphabet (the Symbols, not a literal alphabet). Tons of alphabets are descended from Egyptian, including, but not limited to: Greek (and by Proxy Latin, Cyrillic, Georgian, Armenian, Armenian and Armenian (I just noticed this, I'm leaving it in because it's funny)), Arabic (and by proxy- I won't list all that), Hebrew, and Aramaic (and by proxy all Indian languages but one, as well as Tibetan, Phags-pa mongol (and by proxy exactly 5 letters of Hangul), Thai, Lao, Sundanese, and Javanese). There's a lot of dead languages that used scripts derived from Egyptian too but I didn't mention them because I'd be here all day listing stuff like Sogdian or Norse Runes.

Why is everyone down on Rust? Seriously. I don't know it but I've considered learning it and it appeals to me and people literally scoff when I mention it. Saw it referred to as a meme language on Lemmy, which is built in Rust. What am I missing?

I finally found the real reason why I like java: I‘m german

In Soviet Russia memory manages you!

PHP is Russian. Used to be huge, caused lots of problems, now slowly dwindling away. Its supporters keep saying how it's still better than the competition.

It's a cool meme but I have many many disagreements.

I can confidently tell you that no one who actually knows Latin would ever say French is "Latin with fancy rules."

It fits, English and JavaScript are both three languages in a trench coat.

As a python developer, I'll accept the shower joke in stride. But who are these Esperanto speakers you're shitting on?

I guess assembler is sumerien then, only still written and understood? And cobol or fortran? Linear a and b?

But people like and appreciate German.

Well latin isn't the root of all modern languages

Perl is... forgotten entirely, despite its efforts in getting us from there to here.

Yup, checks out.

PHP also, but good riddance:-D.

Shell scripting is the ink that makes up these words - without them, you would never have seen this image.

Java, verbose? laughs in Pascal

Python being Esperanto? Yeah, no, because Python is actually being used

I want to disagree on German. It isn't verbose. We've got several words where there isn't an equivalent in pretty much any other languages. Including Schadenfreude und Torschlusspanik (the feeling that you are getting older l, can't find a partner and will die alone).

The same EU legal text has in German 22.118 words Vs English 24.698.

The making me cry part, that's fair. Overcomplicated, could be worse.

Rust is esperanto because its only actually used by a small group of nerds,

python is russian because everything made in it is unreliable.

Out of curuosity, what is the programming equivalent of Japanese?

Rust is more like Esperanto isn’t it? It’s Latin, but regularized and with the rough edges sanded off.

Python is more like Spanish. A billion speakers in the world, and really easy to pick up a few phrases, but a small European minority still think they run it.

Hearing about Esperanto the first time. Hate itwhen someone copies my idea and does it in 1887

Rust is more like Lojban. Its adherents are just as excited to tell you about it and it too was created to fix all those pesky problems from people using their language imprecisely.

Ackshully, Clojure is Esperanto, and I will not be taking questions at this time.

Гарантийный без ошибки памятей!

I unironically think it would be hilarious to write a borrow-checked version of Адрес. (The Soviet version of C - or rather C is a version of it, given that Адрес was first compiled in '55)

Can anyone actually tell what exactly complicated in Java? Verbose, maybe it was at some point but I find it very straightforward and easy.

This is highly inaccurate:

D: Esperanto. Highly derivative of C (Latin), designed by people previously writing compilers. It's not being taken seriously as such.

Russian is nowadays being speaken by right-wing authoritarians instead, and any programmer that is auth-right is either coding in C/C++, or a Javascript/Python dev pretending to be a C/C++ dev to "gatekeep" nulangs (sic).

Heeeey!!

Fuck....

Argh, politics in IT.

There's nothing left from Russia anymore.

Surprised nobody has complained so far about the Rust comparison. I guess any objection would appear to prove the point, or at least reinforce the "evangelist" stereotype.

Assembly is Turk, started everything.

RustyRooster: C is the root of all modern languages

FORTRAN: Am I a joke to you?

This is great.

If I could make one change, there's so many funnier languages that could have been Esperanto. I would have taken a shameless jab at F#, myself.

I write several flavours of BASIC fluently, Fortran and Pascal passably, three forms of assembler well enough to get by, and I've worked in COBOL.

according to larry wall perl is the looney tunes theme song

APL is Ithkuil.

i'm in this photo and i don't like it

soo...is FORTRAN greek? Or phoenecian?

Python malfeliĉas min.

oddly enough those also correspond approximately to how well I (native German speaker) know each of these languages; but why is there a stereotype that us Python devs and Esperantists need to shower more? :(

What about basic and assembly? Even Pascal?

Yeah I've not done any coding in a while.

What would be the equivalent of Scratch?

What about VBA?

basic is like toki pona then i guess, like python but even easeier

no wait, that ones gray snail (minimalist vocabulary: it has only 4 commands)

Literally all of these languages are rooted in English.

C: printf()

C++: cout

JavaScript: document.write() or window.print()

Java: system.out.println()

Python: print()

Rust: print()

Exactly zero of those reference a language other than English. I'm not even a linguist and this is just silly. It's literally part of why English is becoming the dominant world language, because if you learn computer programming you basically have to learn English.
