I think the definition for me would be geek

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

D: You're unpopular and a nerd.

HTML 5 isn't a programming language! (Yes, I'm a nerd)

[–] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 33 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Assuming you're talking about HTML5 & CSS it actually is Turing Complete.

[–] BeardedGingerWonder@feddit.uk 18 points 1 week ago

Has anyone ported doom yet?

[–] stetech@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (7 children)

Wrong. Well, at least incomplete.

You need user interaction (e.g., clicking on a button) and HTML & CSS for Turing Completeness, apparently.

We need to rewrite it to nerd.rs for speed and memory safety!

Is this a safe space to say that my favorite programming language rn is Python?

[–] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 17 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Only if you use it for systems programming

[–] ByteJunk@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

Especially writing drivers amirite!

[–] embed_me@programming.dev 9 points 1 week ago

Its okay. I'm sure you'll get over it.

[–] Neptr@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

No

Tap for spoiler/jk obvi I like Python

When did you get diagnosed?

How dare you. I'm a physicist, not an engineer.

[–] BigDanishGuy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago

That's weird, a physicist that deals with the empirical world, how does the rest of your tribe feel about you? I promise you we can treat you better in engineering, but the initiation might be a little hard for you. It includes a lot of chanting "pi is 3", "what good is science if you don't apply it", and "that's a weird parameter, I'll just try setting it to one"

If you want to code like MATLAB but keep the leather elbow patched sports jacket and cozy office, maybe try getting plastered and code Visual Basic, it has the same feeling to it.

Is Fortran really your favorite language?

[–] ThatGuy46475@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It’s easy syntax for math

when you're so much of a nerd that your favourite lang isn't in the meme (it's Ada btw)

[–] potoo22@programming.dev 8 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

What if you don't have a favorite programming language? I'm a firm believer that each language offers a specific set a features that makes each one uniquely suck and I often find myself at the crossroads of continuing to use this garbage or to learn a new language only to find it sucks in a different way. (/s another way of saying each language has its niche... (but sucks outside of it))

[–] bdjegifjdvw@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago

You are a nerd

[–] roofuskit@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

Thank goodness, apparently I'm not old.

[–] sundrei@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Not Verilog though. That shit is for jocks.

[–] slackassassin@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago

Vhdl gang rise up.

[–] Canis_76@feddit.nl 5 points 1 week ago

Truest words ever. Would flash/action script be considered?

[–] bss03@infosec.pub 4 points 1 week ago

No !haskell@programming.dev ? How the mighty have fallen.

It's still my favorite for now, though I do find Idris and Purescript compelling, too, for different reasons.

[–] ookiiBoy@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 week ago

Fuck. Ocaml looks cool as hell. I should learn it.

[–] Naich@lemmings.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Technically, half of those are scripting languages not programming languages.

Anyway my favourite is Bash because I'm weird, even for a nerd.

[–] azi@mander.xyz 18 points 1 week ago (6 children)

how is a script not a program??
