Humor comes fast to you, but you’re obviously faster.

I mean, that’s fair. I get it, I just don’t really find it very funny.

From your comment, I’m not convinced you do get it. You wrote a lot of words completely beside the point of the joke, which is a series of analogies, not a statement about the natural languages involved in the creation of programming languages.

Yet somehow the top comment is basically saying what I’m saying. Interesting.

It’s not the same to continue with the joke and to completely miss the point and complain about it.

The first is funny, the second is sad. I believe I had to clarify that for you

I honestly do not understand what similarity you see between “this post seems like it will make linguists angry” and “the languages in this joke actually use English keywords and standard library names.” The post isn’t even about keywords and names.
