Truth be told, you’re never too old to enjoy Disney movies. This category of film simply has the best characters and the best plots that keep us glued to our seats even if we don’t want them to, even if watching them is a total waste of time.

Programming can be similarly addictive, but perhaps not always in the best way: while unlike Disney movies programming is actually useful, with the ultra-specific syntax demands of each language, one can’t help but liken programming languages to Disney villains. So, here we are, investigating which iconic Disney villain each popular programming language could star as.

Java as Ursula

The classic programming language Java somehow manages to steal the voice of all other programming languages. It’s the most popular language by quite a bit, especially when it comes to textbooks about algorithms. It only makes sense that Ursula is its perfect match.

Python as Jafar
