Out of curuosity, what is the programming equivalent of Japanese?
I was tempted to say Ruby, but based on my friends that are learning (or tried to learn Japanese), it seems like Ruby is trying to be the opposite. So not sure.
Ruby would maybe fit with toki pona : terse, simple, predictable.
as someone with some knowledge of japanese, japanese is extraordinarily terse, simple, and predictable. anyone who's seen some anime should be familiar with this - there's an incredible number of set phrases that carry a conversation in a precise way (that minimizes surprise)
