My dumass thought op meant programming language, and I spent 2 minutes thinking of some sarcastic reply.

    I know it's wrong, but there's something about the forbiddenness of JS that makes it sexy.

    Oh, baby, you wanna do what with my strings?

    Jokes aside, Scala or Haskell, hands down. Those are sexy languages that make gorgeous code.

    Spanish / Portuguese … but can’t explain why. I think it’s mostly cultural vibe based.

    Gotta say, for me, all the techy programming language replies in here are pretty lame. It’s fine that the fediverse leans techy at this stage, great even. But a thread like this was really looking for some linguistics and personal experiences with learning and understanding languages. If you can’t help but turn any topic into one about programming, that’s cool, but doesn’t mean you have to add some noise (seriously a ruby v Python conversation in a thread about seductive human languages?!) to every conversation that happens to use the word “language”.

    Personally Spanish and Portuguese are a world apart. Portugese is beautiful to hear, very melodic. Spanish feels ugly to me, I can't stand the hissing 's' and the thick 'v' pronounced as 'b'.

    As a portuguese, I understand and agree with this, although it's my native language, we don't notice or value our own language. I love to hear italian, it sounds like music

    Norwegian, it's like Danish but with an attractive accent.

    French, because of the lower tone of voice

    People have only had luck with me when they’ve spoken English. Otherwise it’s hard for me to understand their answers to such questions as “your place or mine?” or “dear god what are you gonna do with that spatula?!”.

    Italian for sure. It's so emotional which I really like.

    Finnish! Especially since Iistened to Jukio Kallio's Kuvankaunis album. Listened to it many times.

    Maybe it's so alluring to me because it sounds close to hungarian, but at the same time more rythmic and melodic to me.

    French is the the go-to. Closely followed by Italian. They’re classics for a reason.

    For me I'd probably say Japanese or French. Spanish is really nice too. Although, those happen to be the 3 languages I want to learn the most too lol

    Icelandic! Beautiful language, learned a bit for my honeymoon, it’s a bit of a time capsule to old Norse too.

    German. It naturally sounds so aggressive that if someone speaks German to you and it doesn't sound rude, they must be trying really hard.

    Softly spoken German in an intimate setting can really do it for me.

    Loudly spoken German can also do it for me for entirely different reasons.
