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
I’d say Rust is better though
Whatever language the opposite of French is
Québécois French?
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’.
I hear you. I like both.

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.
Touch grass.
Spanish, because I know enough to understand most of it, but it still feels new and mysterious
My dumass thought op meant programming language, and I spent 2 minutes thinking of some sarcastic reply.

Ladies go crazy with C.
This won’t work, and it’s called C++, and that’s C, not C++.
English because I can understand it
Norwegian, it’s like Danish but with an attractive accent.
French, because of the lower tone of voice
Russian if spoken from a sweet smokey voice
French is the the go-to. Closely followed by Italian. They’re classics for a reason.
Finnish! Especially since Iistened to Jukio Kallio’s Kuvankaunis album. Listened to it many times.
Maybe it’s so alluring to me because it sounds close to hungarian, but at the same time more rythmic and melodic to me.
Turkish. The same goes for it, try listening something. I really enjoy Almora.
Edit: te is magyar vagy?
I’ve had the luck to meet some good Turkish people for a couple of days a few years back, I remember they showed me all kinds of music. I agree, it’s also a beautiful language.
BTW, én is magyar vagyok, igen :) Ugyan itt bojler eladó!
Romance Latinam sequitur.
/Pater iocus, annus CMXCIX ab urbe condita/
P.S. Romance folows Latin – dad joke, year 999 since founding the city ;)
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.

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.
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.
Italian for sure. It’s so emotional which I really like.
