Kotlin or if I’m really in the mood, Python
You had me at the first part and turned me off at the second.
I’d never write an entire application in python, but sometimes i have a few too many and think that dynamic typing might be fun
Haha my opinion is just why would you choose Python when Ruby is an option, but I do understand a lot of people like Python. It’s just one of my most hated ecosystems (the language is ‘fine’).
Ruby? Wtf, what did namespaces ever do to you
not sure what you mean by namespaces. but the python tooling is absolutely the worst tooling out of every major language out there. it’s quite pitiful. just read over this for how bad it’s actually gotten. https://github.com/mitsuhiko/rye/discussions/6
You know you want that syntactic sugar
I’d say Rust is better though
My dumass thought op meant programming language, and I spent 2 minutes thinking of some sarcastic reply.
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.
Printf(hello);
Ladies go crazy with C+.
This won’t work, and it’s called C++, and that’s C, not C++.
C is C++
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++.
Good to know. Thanks
Whatever language the opposite of French is
Québécois French?
Fukn slaughtered an entire province lmao
Play a goose honking and then Chretien delivering a speech and let Americans try to guess which is which
Ouai la
Nah, Canadians are cool. Approved.

English because I can understand it
Came here to say this. But like… English with a sexy accent.
For me that sexy accent is a Scottish one and I’m not talking Glaswegian council estate
For me, Japanese, someone like Atsuko Tanaka or aya hirano could whisper whatever they want to My lesbian ass
Would your ass whisper back
To atsuko? Hell yeah Aya? Probably needs a bit convincing
People have only had luck with me when they’ve spoken English. Otherwise it’s hard for me to understand their answers to such questions as “your place or mine?” or “dear god what are you gonna do with that spatula?!”.
My hovercraft is full of eels
Spatula? Ahh, a human of culture, I see.
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”.
Personally Spanish and Portuguese are a world apart. Portugese is beautiful to hear, very melodic. Spanish feels ugly to me, I can’t stand the hissing ‘s’ and the thick ‘v’ pronounced as ‘b’.
As a portuguese, I understand and agree with this, although it’s my native language, we don’t notice or value our own language. I love to hear italian, it sounds like music
Spanish speaker here, I also agree with the assessment- though my preference is the opposite
Fair enough, preference be preferences, I love the spanish people.
I hear you. I like both.
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.
Jeez who pissed in your porridge
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.

Spanish, because I know enough to understand most of it, but it still feels new and mysterious
Norwegian, it’s like Danish but with an attractive accent.
Klingon. It’s so aggressive…tlhIngan Hol Dajatlh’a’
What have you been doing?
French, because of the lower tone of voice
French is the the go-to. Closely followed by Italian. They’re classics for a reason.
Romantic, even
German. It naturally sounds so aggressive that if someone speaks German to you and it doesn’t sound rude, they must be trying really hard.
Hallo, möchtest du meine Steuererklärung sehen? ;)
Lass uns unsere Steuerklassen zusammenlegen
Zeig mir bitte vorher deine Schufa Auskunft
Du musst deine Steuern bis Ende Juli einreichen. 😏
Omg stop it. I’m getting hot and sweaty. 😄
Softly spoken German in an intimate setting can really do it for me.
Loudly spoken German can also do it for me for entirely different reasons.
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.
I never would’ve expected it until it happened, just barely above a whisper, loud enough for me to hear and not anyone else…
Huh. That’s interesting. I’m native Spanish speaker and I find German (actually, most Germanic languages including English) a bit toned down, lacking most harsh sounds I associate with aggressive tone.
Russian if spoken from a sweet smokey voice
Dutch
Just kidding.
He even rustig aan
