If Coding Languages Were Ice Cream Flavors...?

Let's have some coding fun! If programming languages were transformed into ice cream flavors, which flavors would you associate with each language and what attributes or characteristics make them a perfect match?

For example: If Ruby were transformed into an ice cream flavor, it might be a delightful blend of rich and smooth dark chocolate with a hint of raspberry swirl. This flavor choice represents Ruby's elegant and expressive nature, like the indulgent sweetness of chocolate combined with the vibrant and tangy essence of raspberry. 🍧

There would be vanilla JavaScript but everyone would eat a framework instead

I guess that JS with Svelte or Solid would be vanilla with sprinkles. JS with large frameworks would be vanilla with large chunks... but TypeScript what would be?

Equivalent to topping with hundreds-and-thousands.

I suppose CSS would have to be a Neapolitan, this flavor has to be one of the more aesthetic ice creams, the fact that is 3 colors (light, dark, colored) it reminds me of how CSS is widely used to color elements. And this could change in the future, but current CSS version is 3.

Edit: If you think about it, CSS is also 3 letters, which stands for: Chocolate, Strawberry, Svanilla... (Jealous people would say it means Cascading Style Sheets).

Pascal: That one ice cream you had once as a child and can never find again.
Bash: That scoop of Rocky-Road ice cream with a few pebbles mixed in.
Machine Language: The people that made it got away with calling it ice cream but it was really chilled wet talcum powder.

  • The CPU: Just sand. Who eats that stuff...
  • ASM: Raw milk, hasn't even been made into ice cream yet
  • C: Vanilla, basic as hell, but it's still pretty good
  • Python: Chocolate, simple, not super powerful, but who doesn't like it?

I might've gotten a little bit carried away :)

Python would definitely be strawberry, easy to make, tastes good and refreshing, and can be paired well with other flavors!
