What's the cutest programming language?

Name: Anonymous 2015-12-30 7:26

Perl 6 was pretty cute with the butterfly and all, but if it's anything like Perl 4, it has a horrible personality that detracts from the cuteness.

Haskell can be cute, but only in the sense that it is clumsy and inept at everything. Helplessness is cute.

Scheme has a good chance at being cutest because of how many cuties program in Scheme.

C is an old hag and has not chance of being cute at all. And if C is an old hag, Seeples is a crack whore. May have been a cute little side project a few dozen years ago, but it lost all cuteness when it started stealing from you and calling you for bail money.

Which do you think is the cutest?

If you go by that the cutest language is likely FORTH.
This is a language where it's normal to re-implement programming paradigms inside the application. Things like CREATE> DOES are proudly presented by users as innovative concepts.
It also has no syntax to speak of just space to separate words.

There is also ColorForth which basically just Chuck Moore uses which uses colors as syntax, is written using a custom 18-bit encoding, no files and a custom keyboard layout.
