You had me at the first part and turned me off at the second.
I'd never write an entire application in python, but sometimes i have a few too many and think that dynamic typing might be fun

You know you want that syntactic sugar
I’d say Rust is better though
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.

English because I can understand it
Came here to say this. But like.. English with a sexy accent.
For me that sexy accent is a Scottish one and I'm not talking Glaswegian council estate
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

For me, Japanese, someone like Atsuko Tanaka or aya hirano could whisper whatever they want to My lesbian ass
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?!”.
My hovercraft is full of eels
Spatula? Ahh, a human of culture, I see.
Spanish, because I know enough to understand most of it, but it still feels new and mysterious
Norwegian, it's like Danish but with an attractive accent.
Russian if spoken from a sweet smokey voice
French, because of the lower tone of voice
French is the the go-to. Closely followed by Italian. They’re classics for a reason.
Romantic, even
Dutch
Just kidding.
He even rustig aan
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.
Hallo, möchtest du meine Steuererklärung sehen? ;)

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.
Yeah, I didn't think German was anything special until a few years ago when I attended a German language group just for fun, on a whim. There was a native speaker there that I spoke to, and unexpectedly I just... I don't even know.
Anyhow, we ended up dating for a while.
Still have a weakness for the German language.

Huh. That's interesting. I'm native Spanish speaker and I find German (actually, most Germanic languages including English) a bit toned down, lacking most harsh sounds I associate with aggressive tone.
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.

Romance Latinam sequitur.
/Pater iocus, annus CMXCIX ab urbe condita/
P.S. Romance folows Latin – dad joke, year 999 since founding the city ;)
Italian for sure. It's so emotional which I really like.
Morse code has a rhythm that just does something to me
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.

I don't think I have a particular language I find seductive. I am a native Spanish speaker, I like Italian for sure and some accents from Spain. But I wouldn't say it's particularly a seductive thing, I think what is seductive is the voice pitch and how the speech is delivered, and that can happen in any language.
