Dimage Sapelkin interested in programming language design

Hey what a funny question! ;]
C – Russia. Everything has to be done in a backwards way but everything is possible and there's a lot of legacy.
C++ – USA. Powerful but more and more complicated unreadable error-prone. Tends to dominate and influence everything.
Python – Netherlands. Modern rich easily approachable attractive for various reasons but not the top performer.
Haskell – Monaco. Not many people but very rich so they don’t have to consider lower classes’ problems.
Java – Sweden. Comfortable but has its own king and currency.
jaxcript – China. Developing really fast and can do lots of surprising stuff. A lot of users.
Basic – Finland. Easy to use but not very powerful.
Assembly – Lesotho which is completely surrounded by South Africa. Rarely used nowadays to make a whole program more often as an included part of a bigger code in higher level language.
PHP – Bangladesh. Poor but numerous and it's found all over the web.
Pascal – Germany. Strict rules good performance. And there are many people who just don't like the language.
Bash – Switzerland. Not very big in itself but pulls the strings of the others.

真是个有意思的问题
C – 俄罗斯. 一切都在开倒车，但是一切皆有可能，还有很多历史遗产.
C++ – 美国. 很强大但是有越来越复杂混乱易于报错. 有统治且影响一切的趋势.
Python – 荷兰. 由于很多原因，它现代化、富裕、亲切可爱 但不是表现最好的.
Haskell – 摩纳哥. 用户人不多但是都非常有钱，所以不用考虑底层社会的问题.
Java – 瑞典. 很宜人，但只认自己的国王和货币.
jaxcript – 中国. 发展很快而且能做出很多惊人的东西. 很多用户.
Basic – 芬兰. 用起来很容易但不太给力.
Assembly – 莱索托- 被南非环绕的小国. 现在很少被用来编一个完整的程序，更多地是作为更大段的高级语言代码的一部分.
PHP – 孟加拉. 穷但是为数众多，而且网上到处都是.
Pascal – 德国. 规则严格表现良好. 而且不喜欢它的人很多.
Bash – 瑞士. 本身不是很大，但在幕后对很多其他语言有重要影响.

upxe – based on comments:
Lisp – India. It was the origin of many philosophies derivatives of which became more popular than the original.
Swift – Japan. Technically advanced but isolated on its island and uses unreadable characters.
Ruby – Singapore. Advanced but small.
To add some more fun – a few more languages:
Factor – Antarctica. Easily has representatives of all other countries but really underpopulated and hard to get used to. Although it has some unique and spectacular features.
Lua – San Marino. Tiny and completely within another country but fully functional quite rich and independent.
SQL – Saudi Arabia. You depend on it to fetch you the stuff that you need. Rich and potent but you need to be smart to optimize your interaction with it. Also different SQL implementations have their own peculiarities like different arab countries around Saudi Arabia.
Actionscxt – Taiwan. If jaxcript is China Actionscxt is a splinter of it that wants to own everything but lacks the support of its bigger brother and many other countries. Quite noticeable though for its visually compelling product (at least in the past).
APL – Mesopotamia. Incomprehensible cuneiform scxt that was once great in its area but gave way to its more modern heirs.
Forth – Maldives. Remote from all mainland and likely to disappear underwater due to climate change. Known for its backwards writing direction.

根据评论补充:
Lisp – 印度. 很多哲学的源头， 它的衍生流派变得比它本身更受欢迎.
Swift – 日本. 科技发达但孤立在自己的岛上，并且用一些读不懂的字符.
Ruby – 新加坡. 先进但是很小.
在来些有意思的 – 还有一些语言:
Factor – 南极洲. 很容易出现其他各个国家的成员但是人实在太少，且不易习惯. 尽管如此它还是有很多独特的特点.
Lua – 圣马力诺. 迷你、完全处于另一个国家中，但是功能齐全，有钱、独立.
SQL – 沙特阿拉伯. 你依靠它获得你需要的东西. 有钱有力但不要太乐观地看待与它的关系. 同时不同的SQL编译器都有它自己的特点，就像沙特周边的一圈阿拉伯国家.
Actionscxt – 台湾. 如果jaxcript是中国Actionscxt就是它的一个碎片，想拥有一切但缺乏大哥与其他很多国家的支持. 美观的产品非常引人注目 (至少过去是).
APL – 美索不达米亚. 费解的楔形文字 scxt 在它的地盘上一度伟大，但让位给更好用的现代继承者.
Forth – 马尔代夫. 离所有大陆都很遥远而且很可能因为气候变化沉到水底. 以其倒着的书写方向闻名.

Java is USA because you are free to develop anything but in the end nothing works if the VM (NSA/FBI/etc.) doesn’t like your code :D

Java是美国，因为你可以自由地开发任何东西，但如果虚拟机（就像国安局/联邦调查局/其他机构）不喜欢你的代码，那你最终啥都干不了:D

And Assembler is Germany because it looks complicated and it won’t work if you are not very precise clean and devoted to your code.

Assembler是德国，因为它看上去很复杂，而且如果你不够精确、简练且不够专情于你的代码，它就无法运行。

Ruby is Japan because it is based on a philosophy and your code can be either rough and edgy or like a poem and it will run. Also you have very nice Ruby on Rail-ways in the cities.

Ruby是日本，因为它基于哲学（这四个字好难以直视），你的代码既可以粗野狂放也可以诗情画意，还都能运行。而且在城市铁路系统运用上Ruby表现得很好。

Python is the UK it is easy to adapt and serves every market but it relies on it’s roots (main modules) written in C and Assembler. Also it’s snake that looks nice at the beginning but as soon as you’re a resident the cameras all over the place will choke you!

Python是英国，它很容易适应并服务于每一个市场但它依赖于它写在C语言和Assembler上的根基(主要模块)。而且它的阴险之处在于初看起来不错，但如果你是一个居民摄像头（指仔细观察），到处都噎死你!

R is Hungary the language sounds so weird and is hard to learn :P

R语言是匈牙利，因为这个语言听起来太古怪了并且很难学:P

Lua is Sweden it seems so easy and independent but it is absolutely dependent.

Lua是瑞典，它看起来简单且落后但它绝对很先进。

Pascal is France for sure! No question. But Ocami was mentioned in the comments because the French love arguing and theorization. Pascal then would be Polish because they are constantly working just to be as good as everyone else.

Pascal绝逼是法国！没有疑问。但Ocami在评论中被提到过，因为法国人爱争论和理论化。这样Pascal只能是波兰了因为他们经常工作只是和其他人一样好。但Ocami在评论中提到因为法国爱争论和理论化。帕斯卡是波兰，因为他们经常工作只是和其他人一样好。

C++ is Switzerland very clean and very independent and everyone brings their money there.

C++ 是瑞士，非常干净，非常先进，而且大家都把钱送到那里。

jaxcript is Russia because you can do anything you want but everything is controlled by an engine that depending on browser version is very corrupt.

jaxcript是俄国，因为你可以做任何你想做的事，但所有东西都被一个取决于浏览器版本的腐败引擎控制着。

C is China also you can do what you want and you can improvise if needed but when you are not following the kernel you will crash for sure.

C语言是中国，你也可以做任何你想做的事，如果需要还能创作，但是如果你不遵从核心思想，你肯定会崩溃。

Visual Studio is Belgium you can use at least three different languages.

Visual Studio是比利时，你可以用至少三种不同的语言。

C# is the Netherlands a lot of influence from different cultures and very flexible.

C#是挪威，受到很多来自不同文化的影响，而且非常灵活。

Haskell is Arabic you are devoted to a religion with connections you can achieve anything but if you not obey you are in trouble.

upxes from comments:
Bash is New Zealand because they love improvising.

Bash是新西兰，因为他们喜欢即兴演奏。

India then could be Eclipse with it’s tremendous amount of dialects… but it could simply be Lisp and its family (like Scheme or Clojure): so many languages and dialects!

印度的话应该是Eclipse由于它大量的方言……但它可能仅仅是作为Lisp和其家族中一员(如Scheme或Clojure): 这么多的语言和方言！

But my favorite: MB86 is India it translates CBasic to C - charges the least for the process produces pretty bloated output but it's hidden by the C compiler. No one can really read MB86 but it works so “it must be good”.

但我最喜欢的是：MB86是印度，它把CBasic翻译成 C语言 —— 要指出在这过程中输出的东西很臃肿但它用C语言编译器隐藏了。没有人能真正阅读MB86，但它表现的“就是这么好”。

Perl is Spain for it’s amazing History but nowadays totally out-aged and deprecated.

Perl是西班牙，因为它奇妙的历史。但是目前它已经过时不用了。

and some addition from me:

还有我新想到的：

Scala is Canada it is close to Java (USA) but so much simpler :)

Scala是加拿大，它接近Java(美国）但是简单多了:)

Go is Jamaica it is fun and simple friendly dangerous and stoned :o)

Go是牙买加，它很有趣，简单，友好，有危险并且去核心 :o)

F# is Finnland made to make real big data great ideas but no one goes there and uses it.

F#生来就是用于处理大数据，F#是个不错的想法概念，但是没人去发现它更别说使用它了。

VBA is Turkey very simple tries to be a big player but it kills you and you better leave it.

VBA是土耳其，简单，尝试成为大佬。但它会杀了你，你最好离开它。

… to be continued …

Mark Jeffrey Programming since 1975. Yes I can use a GOTO correctly.
Written Dec 5
FORTRAN - England. Ancient and bound by IMPLICIT assumptions. Once ruled the world. Fast and very powerful rather dangerous if not handled with care. Very scientific. Doesn’t play too well with others. Has a wisdom of ages and huge libraries that are still important in some fields of study. Recognises structure but will sometimes GOTO somewhere you never expected for no obvious reason. Is sometimes treated with love loyalty and respect by people who would never want to live there.

FORTRAN-英国。古老且受暗含的假设的限制。曾统治世界。快并且非常强大，但如果不小心处理会有危险。非常科学。和别人玩的关系不太好。有长者风范以及数量众多的图书馆，在某些研究领域这些图书馆对我们仍是不可或缺的。能够识别结构但有时无缘无故会跑到你从未想到的地方去。对于一些永远不会住在那儿的人，他们有时到会给予它一点爱、忠心和尊重。
