Programming in French...

Yesterday I was programming in French and I found a new way to receive username input:

Bonjour!
Comment T'appelles tu?

This will get the username of the current user. Then, to get their age, you simply use this code:

Quelle age as-tu?

It's much faster than the way most people do it in Spanish or Chinese...
http://helnet.org/forum/ for more info.

I am still a big fan of Spanish. It compiles very fast, however it is very low-level and hard to code in.

Yeah, I didn't really like Spanish. If you really want to talk about low level languages, go code some Latin. Now, there's a hard language to code in. But it compiles exteremely fast.

I once tried Arabic which is similar to Latin, but Latin has a better documentation.

Chinese is really becoming popular among software developers these days - ever since Apple used it to code Mac OS X.

Yea dude, my mom has a degree in Chinese programming. It is slowly replacing Japanese after it got support for OOP. I coded a few games in Chinese, but they have an azn feel to them. That is a side-effect of Chinese.

I prefer english it might be slow but it works on all environments!

Chinese is so terse that it's super fast to develop in, but I don't know what Iverson was thinking with all those heiroglyphs.

English is the best. All the other languages have too many symbols for touch typing.

Chinese is a freaking hack, dude. Like everything that's fast to code in, you lose both flexibility and structural purity.

>>10

That's a complete lie. You don't lose either of those things if you /think/. Chinese can think, man, they're human calculators.

I use Japanese on Rails for my anime community.

You know perfectly well there's enough shit code out there, and it's because nobody thinks. You really think a language that screws you over unless you think is going to work in a world like this?

It's not even properly OO, anyway.

I'd use Esperanto but it doesn't have good platform support.  We always get stuck with shit languages in the reald world.

The Geraldo Rivera world?

Lojban98 (grew from Loglan).  It has a powerful concept of Monad, and it is strictly logical.
However not many platforms actually have it installed.

Isn't lojban generally only favoured by pathetic wankers who don't understand communication between actual human beings? "Logical language", my eye.

Esperanto had some good ideas, but in the end the creator didn't know what he was doing, and it ended up almost as failed as the rest of them. I do my personal projects in Novial, just because it makes me feel elite. It's hopeless finding work coding Novial though.
I'm currently making big bucks as a Sumerian consultant. You'd think it would be obsolete by now, but a lot of banks are still running their entire back end system on a tangled patchwork of Sumerian and Sanskrit.

>>18
That's it. It's over. I declare /prog/ officially shit.
 

I'm a big fan of esoteric languages.  Basque, Sanskrit, Turkish.  They really change the way you view programming.

fuck you this is the best thread on /prog/.

Learn Sanskrit, achieve Satori.

Use OCaml

Camel? Is that some sort of sand nigger language?

Same fag? I don't see how there could be two anons that completely fail to grasp what going on ITT.

OCaml is french

My family speaks OCaml.  It's actually pretty cool.  But but this thread is about PROGRAMMING.

Actually, I really enjoy programming in Japanese. The basic syntax is pretty simple, and there aren't that many keywords and they are quite systematic.

Really, the only problem is the HUGE number of macros (like 2000-3000) you gotta know to read other peoples' code. But than again, if you know Chinese most macros are identical (well at least older versions, they had quite some cleanup recently), although some macros differ somewhat in functionality.

OT: I'm actually majoring in C at university. And I fucking hate it. The pronoun conjugation is insane. You're better of just memorizing each use case. And the preprocs are driving me insane. Sometimes people make up a whole bunch of words in the beginning of a speak, sometimes redefining existing words and then you're supposed to remember their meaning throughout the speak.

Why can't people just learn to speak a sane language?

Too bad Japanese on Rails is slow as fuck
