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.

I was going to say toki pona is not quite brainfuck but at least somewhere in that direction, with its tiny vocab

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)

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)

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
