What is the "English" of programming languages?

It has to be C. Supported on every platform, able to handle architectural differences, most software is written in it deigned to be portable from the start. Requires minimal runtime.

Hell, even hardware is created from C code. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-level_synthesis

English in the sense that you can expect it to be known everywhere you go.

C++ is japanese

More like an English dub of a Japanese movie then.

i don't like working with C...
BUT
C is to programming languages
what English is to modern human languages.

I say japanese, because:
A) there is a easy base language you can learn to read and write
B) there is a second and third level of difficulty if you want to go balls deep in the language

English (traditional): C
English (simplified): C++

Latin

Only in the sense that retards use it.
C++ is the most bloated and disgustingly complex language in existence.

Brainfuck

binary

underated

>even hardware is created from C code
I think that's a bad example as there are specialized HDLs like Verilog which from my perspective appear to be used more often.

British English: C
Amerimutt English: C++

visual studio + xamarin + .net = universal translator

>all businesses forced to use it in some capacity

Sounds right.

Tamil

C#, Java, Pascal, Lua

Probably JavaScript

Epic meme, Slav.

C, but not because it's used universally etc.
C has very few keywords and 'features' and a lot of them are context specific. Just like English grammar is very simple compared to other Latin languages.

>English grammar is very simple compared to other Latin languages
But it's still a clusterfuck compared to some other languages and its vocabulary is just a mix of Latin, French and some Germanic. And the spelling is outright retarded.

C's retarded variable declaratipn syntax symbolizes English spelling quite well.

Perl

and most of it could be fixed if TS was more mainstream

>What is the "English" of programming languages?

PHP
>its shit
>its very widely spread for historical reasons
>its the indian's pride and bread earner

>And the spelling is outright retarded.
Only American English. If you think otherwise I will laugh in your face like the brainlets you are.

The only people who think E glish is shit are continentals who still harbour an inferiority complex from Britain being more successful than them.

c++
it's used everywhere, despite being a frankenstein's monster of a language that steals ideas and vowels from everyone

BASIC

Even though English is simple, most speakers, even native ones, don't know its grammar very well. I spot natives making grammar errors in virtually every thread on Jow Forums and other boards with flags.

Likewise I don't know anyone who truly knows all details of a BASIC dialect.

>Britain being more successful than them.
Huh?

its a patchwork of a language that only makes sense in its historical context, borrowing words every time england gets conquered
it has fucked up rules, its full of exception, its awful for poetry and has no words for many feelings and emotions, and people can't even agree on how to pronounce the sounds

like php

English is primarily a Germanic language. It just has a verity of loanwords.

Yes. The British Empire was far greater than any other.

The imperial age is over, you fucking moron.

No, Britain is still great!

English is a joke

C = Chinese Mandarin (simple, widely spoken)
C++ = German (technical, convoluted, efficient)
Java = Indian (incoherent syntactical babble)
Javascript = Englisch (words work in any order in some context, sometimes)
Brainfuck = Finnish (fifteen cases just why)

>fifteen case
Hungarian has 17

>conquer shitholes only
>brag about size
Literally muh-dick nigger tier.

Brainfuck literally has less words in it than there are cases in Finnish.
