Rust is esperanto because its only actually used by a small group of nerds,

python is russian because everything made in it is unreliable.

Python is Spanish; a ton of people learned a bit in school and never picked it back up again. Places that speak it natively all have their own conventions because, even though the native languages were replaced by colonizers, a lot of the native languages patterns remained in place. Most places that speak it are super welcoming and stoked that you’re trying to learn.

Haskell is Esperanto. The difference being that Rust is actually catching on.

PHP is Russian. Used to be huge, caused lots of problems, now slowly dwindling away. Its supporters keep saying how it’s still better than the competition.

True, but only because it actually is. Except weirdos who saw php code 20 years ago say it sucks.

Literally all of these languages are rooted in English.

C: printf()

C++: cout

JavaScript: document.write() or window.print()

Java: system.out.println()

Python: print()

Rust: print()

Exactly zero of those reference a language other than English. I’m not even a linguist and this is just silly. It’s literally part of why English is becoming the dominant world language, because if you learn computer programming you basically have to learn English.

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.

Is this post sane-washing Russia? What’s left about Russia under Putin? Overall funny, though

The USSR was bad but it wasn’t communist. For that it would have had to have been stateless and classless, definitionally.
