Which programming language looks best to you?

I care a little bit about function, but I care mostly about the looks. I've got a program which sings "When you just wanna dance, butchya can't, ya gotta believe thatchya can.", written in four different languages. C# looks nicer than Java even though they're similar. Python seems too basic for me and C too complicated. However, I can't do much C# without admin rights on my computer (and I hate that). These programs are filtered using the default filtering algorithms Visual Studio Code uses with its extensions. Here's the code:

C#:

Another thing is that I want to make a game with one of these languages, so C is already out the window because it's hard to set up FreeGlut and other OpenGL stuff.

Which looks nicest? I want to know your opinions. I might ask for admin permissions too and start making C# games, probably with FNA, which uses .NET 4 so I might try Unity.

almost none of that is true, minecraft java edition was made in java and windows uses a lot of different languages throughout different elements of itself.

I'd like to add on to this:

Quote

Alongside HTML and CSS, JavaScript is one of the core technologies of the World Wide Web.[10] JavaScript enables interactive web pages and is an essential part of web applications. The vast majority of websites use it for client-side page behavior,[11] and all major web browsers have a dedicated JavaScript engine to execute it.

Source: Wikipedia, 2nd paragraph. Minecraft was available online, however it used a Java applet, which is a very different breed compared to JavaScript.

Hello. I am from the future. Was it really 2 months ago since I left? Anyways, I want to let everybody know how I got on. I found out about SDL, and that's great. I didn't really like Java in the end, so I dropped that off. I don't use Unity, I use MonoGame and occasionally Godot with C#. I've tried out JavaScript (more specifically TypeScript) and I like the syntax. However, creating a game project is a hassle, because I have to set up a web server and stuff. Anyways, I was bored. I may come on ClassiCube for a few days, including today.

Note: This post contains the 5000th comment, which is the one right at the top. How lucky of me!

Edit: Why am I up and coming?

i personally think x86 Assembly (i think thats what it is, im pretty sure its not machine language) is the best language.
