Nope, JS is “You think you are nerd”.
Also, why React is there? It’s a lib not a language
This guy right here is a certified nerd
This guy right here is a certified nerd certifier
I didn’t certify that nerd certifier though.
You want to be looking for some other nerd certifier certifier for that.
Come on y’all, would you lay off the gatekeeping. Some of us still think the free web’s a good thing, lest we all end up in a walled garden hellscape. JavaScript is therefore needed if we’re being pragmatic. Just transpile it from TypeScript if you’re
too stuck up for dynamic languagesbuilding something big.Node: Did you say “Nerd”?
A real nerd would know that React is a library and HTML is a markup language, and neither are programming languages.
matlab is nobody’s favourite language. although using it does require an engineering degree, which makes you a nerd.
Most of these are scripting languages. Some are even markup languages. It’s like the meme creator didn’t even know what a programming language was.
I hope someone got fired for that blunderWhat your comment says about you:
You are a nerd
A scripting language is a type of programming language…
What’s the difference between a scripting language and a programming language?
Some people think that only compiled languages are true programming languages. (Needless to say, they’re wrong.)
Needless to say, they’re wrong.
Not least because there’s no such thing as a “compiled” or “interpreted” language.
Which is to say that it’s a property of the tooling rather than the language itself. There’s nothing stopping anyone from writing a C interpreter or a Python compiler.

Except god, hopefully

I’d say there is (but the line is a bit blurry). IMHO the main distinction is the presence (and prevalence) of
evalsemantics in the language; if it is present, then any “compiler” would have to embed itself into the generated code, thus de-facto turning it into a bundled interpreter.That said, the argument that interpreted languages are somehow not programming languages is stupid.
Yeah, once you know all the details, the distinction disappears. The term doesn’t clarify understanding.
If I had to make a distinction, it’d be that scripting languages are meant to be a simple way to serve a specific niche. Things like SQL or Excel formulas. It doesn’t apply to Python.
One is:
- a scripting/interpreted language needs an interpreter to be installed on the target system in order to run
- a programming/compiled language needs a compiler on the host machine and will run as-is standalone in the target machine
/me ducks for cover
Still a language to make the computer do something. Thus, programming language. Scripts are programs.
Neeeeerd!
I think simply knowing what the “F” is means you’re old and a nerd.
I heard it’s to pay respect?
No Haskell so I’m not a nerd 😎. Though from the languages I use the most (Java & Python) and other languages I enjoy (Rust, Julia) I can infer that I’m probably a bit of a nerd.
I believe Haskell makes you the pope of nerds.
Awesome!
Yeah Haskell is definitely not for nerds. Just too plain and simple.
GHC :: Your thoughts -> Our commands
if you have a favorite language that isn’t on this, you’re a super nerd.
I didn’t knew that (1) Fortran has such logo and (2) I am old. Shit
COBOL: You’re a fucking dinosaur
No QBASIC, can not confirm.
BASICA represent.

Ah, alcoholic then
Thankfully I suck at that, but holy crap it is prevelent in this industry. The alcohol abuse is cray. Doesn’t help when you travel constantly. I don’t travel much anymore, but the people who spend 90+% of the year in the field, while having a family, are fundamentally broken. Fun to party once in a while, but when they do this shit multiple times a week, I don’t understand.
Couldn’t agree more. Field service is one hell of a drug. Money’s good, variety is fun, the chaos and travel are fun too, and you learn a lot quickly. The latter often because some or all of the mfg. plant you’re visiting needs you to fix your stuff so they can run, and no one is coming to BFE to help you, lol.
But that all wears off, in time, and it starts to take a huge toll like you described. Never met a long term field service engineer with a healthy home life, or with their health in general. I got out because both of mine were crumbling, for real.
Yeah holy shit. When I was starting out and tagged along a senior on a trip he literally hauled a big backpack of spirits with him.
Got out of that industry after a few years when I realized why every senior was drinking. The money was just not worth it for me.
Rust: Nerdy Transfem
We can just remove the HTML5 entry all together.
As an engineer this is extremely offensive. MATLAB is for fucking tryhards.
as an R user, what is matlab what is it about
It’s mainly a tool for working with matrices (matrix laboratory). This is useful for solving ordinary differential equations. Learning Matlab is usually a requirement for first year engineering students. I’m now a licensed chemical engineer, and I haven’t used Matlab since sophomore year.
i technicly will get the title of enginner (barely) from my uni course we use r for statistics and data analysis
I use R for all sorts of bioinformatics shenanigens, and I remind myself daily I am not a nerd. Even my rows of warhammer books, minis and Corvus Corax poster confirm to me I am not a nerd… The Emperor Protects…my code
R still gives me chills, never hated a language until I had to use R in my PhD.
Still furious when half packages need different versions of the same thing making them incompatible.
I am a scientist and I used to use SAS for stats, and then started doing loads of bioinformatics in R. Institute decided they werent going to license SAS anymore, and didnt tell us. We get an email the day of, to say no more SAS. Then we have to drop evrything and concert all our SAS models into R… Cue bitching from instiute leaders as to why we had to halt all publications. Idiots.
ouch, sorry about that.
that sucks
This is how I feel about python. At least you can do C adjacent things in R.
