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)
Ruby is literally Japanese. It was invented there. Plus a Danish guy popularized it outside of Japan. Like how weebs spurred interest in Japan and the Japanese language outside Japan.
Can’t imagine there is any. You need to learn three scripts to read Japanese fluently IINM.
Katagana, Hirigana and something else… Probably someone who speaks Japanese can say.
just as a point of contention, english also has two character sets (compare A and a), and english doesn’t even do anything with that, the capital letters exist for purely frustrating reasons
The something else is called kanji, and are very complicated characters stolen from China with many meanings and pronunciation. Learning Japanese is very 楽しい (it is really)
Out of curuosity, what is the programming equivalent of Japanese?

I was going to say toki pona is not quite brainfuck but at least somewhere in that direction, with its tiny vocab
Clojure, a simple grammar but most of the vocabulary is imported from another language.
