C is Latin, the root of all modern languages, the whole universe used to speak it. C++ is French, it’s Latin with fancy rules, used by the elite around the world & in specific circles. JavaScript is English, everybody speaks it, most speakers speak it poorly and others don’t bother learning another language. Java is German, it’s verbose, over-complicated and it made me cry several times. I won’t elaborate. Python is Esperanto, it was created to be so easy everyone could speak it. Its speakers could benefit from a shower once in a while. Rust is Russian, most speakers have an authoritarian left background and want to spread it worldwide.
