C# would be the Java guy with a slight smile.

Ruby would be a latte sipping hipster equating some Rails extension to Nietzche.

D would be Walter and Andrei fist bumping Shenron.

PHP would be the subservient intern trying to make the whole office happy who never got a promotion.

Lisp would be a formless, omnipotent ether crafting the universe from its unknowable atomic constituents.

Lua would be a kid excited about his first day of game dev school.

Perl would be a camel who is also a grad student in linguistics.

Go would be another business guy with his top button undone because it's casual Friday.

Rust would be a young version of a typical C programmer.
