    I think this thread is meant to flatter programmers and make linguists and sociologists extremely angry.

        Does Russian have stricter grammar syntax than German? I was a bit puzzled by the comparison made above

      IDK, comparing Javascript to English while Java to German seems to either overblow the value of javascript or diminish the value of English.

        Yeah German isn’t nearly as bad as Java either. Also what is asm? Phoenetic script?

        makes sense though. the definition on english speakers and js devs is accurate, english derived from german and js derived from java.

          English is derived from Latin as it was taught by Roman Legionaries, but German has large influences from both Latin and Indo-European languages.
