        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’).

              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

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

            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”.

      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’.

        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.
