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.

If you think Rust has zero rough edges you might have drunk too much kool aid.

Esperanto is just Spanish pretending to be a neutral language.

Honestly a very bad language. Nothing intuitive or easy about it. It's as well thought out as QWERTY.

soo...is FORTRAN greek? Or phoenecian?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Id argue that Octave is Greek or at least Egyptian.

What about basic and assembly? Even Pascal?

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

RustyRooster: C is the root of all modern languages

FORTRAN: Am I a joke to you?

Fortran is Proto-Indo-Germanic or whatever it's called again

Lisp (specifically IPL) is Proto-Indo-European. All languages have unwittingly taken inspiration from it

No grandpa fortran, everybody loves you. Now let's get you back inside with cobol.

LISP is too old to care any more.
