I know it's wrong, but there's something about the forbiddenness of JS that makes it sexy.

Oh, baby, you wanna do what with my strings?

Jokes aside, Scala or Haskell, hands down. Those are sexy languages that make gorgeous code.

Printf(hello);

Ladies go crazy with C.

This won't work, and it's called C++, and that's C, not C++.

Well, actually, [no it isn't].(https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compatibility_of_C_and_C%2B%2B)

There are obviously lots of things in C++ that doesn't work in C, but there's also lots of stuff in C, especially from 1999 onwards, that isn't valid C++.
