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.
definitely a nerd’s nerd.
Node: Did you say “Nerd”?
I only believe in Bun.

HTML 5 is also not a programming language.
That being said. The JS hate is kinda cringe at this point. It’s a perfectly fine language all things considered.
I wouldn’t say it’s a perfectly fine language but I also don’t understand the people hating on JS developers. If anything kudos to them for suffering through a language filled with such BS as “==” not actually doing what you think it should do (when coming from other languages).
I’m yet to find a non-LISP that doesn’t have at least one or two rough edges like that.
Isn’t it Turing complete or was that CSS?
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.
Ah, yes. My favourite programming language (checks notes) HTML…
If your favourite programming language is HTML, we do not grant you the title of 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.
Or a physics student who wants to cry. cue thousand yard stare to freshman year in college.
at least you don’t have to use simulink, right?
…right?
Simulink was the fun part of Matlab.
neeeeerd
And?
that means you fit in here <3
I think that was it? But it’s also been almost 20 years 😭
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
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
Not least because there’s no such thing as a “compiled” or “interpreted” language.
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.
Do you know what community you’re in? Do you want to start a war?
There is no clear definition because there is a lot of overlap, especially when you get into the details, but:
-
Scripting languages are often considered to be very high level and can commonly run without compilation. Making them great to automate tasks or create a simplified interaction/abstraction layer to a more complex program.
-
Programming languages usually have much lower level access, and by extension they tend to be more complicated. In exchange for that, you get much more control. Although the access varies from Assembly to languages a C programmer would consider “scripting”.
Although for every example, there is basically a counter example. Because programmers being who they are, see it as a challenge to do something with a language that others consider impossible or wrong.
For example, there are things like NodeOS, a “Lightweight operating system using Node.js as userspace.”

No way this exists.
Wtf, it exists. Why would anyone do that to the world?

Then Python is not a scripting language.

Would you consider C to be more or less complicated than Perl?
The first comment worked as bait, but that last question is way too obvious.
Although just for fun:
Then Python is not a scripting language.
That is true. It is often used as one, but it was developed from the start as a general-purpose language.
Would you consider C to be more or less complicated than Perl?
You know about Python, Perl and C. You know the answer and you’re just trying to incense people.
No, I’m trying to get people to think. If I laid out my full opinions on this subject (compilers and interpreters aren’t that different anymore, even machine code often runs more like bytecode in many ways, “scripting” is a term that hides what’s actually going on, etc.), then people get into endless debates. My questions are designed to pick apart assumptions.
Admittedly, people didn’t appreciate when Socrates did this shit, either.

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 bet there are people out there that have React as favorite language
Hell, they’ll probably put that on a resume, and someone will hire them.

I think simply knowing what the “F” is means you’re old and a nerd.
It’s still commonly used in STEM fields.
I have to take a breath whenever I find an F77 file. Prepare for a lack of objects!
F in the chat for people who know F.
I heard it’s to pay respect?
I am old and a nerd and I don’t see Perl on here.
Wait… is it the tiny camel at the bottom?
Yep. It has no logo of its own, so it sometimes gets identified by the animal on the O’Reilly book
You clearly were not a perl programmer 20 years ago
it was a joke about O’Reilly, which is also the name of this cunt
perl logo is just the infopop ultimate bulletin board logo.
OCaml maybe
OCaml has a camel with two bumps. So, that’s gotta be the Perl dromedary camel…
Wait… is it the tiny camel at the bottom?
Yes, it appears it is. I thought it was Apache Camel but I was corrected as per the hump count.
It is indeed the sedulous camel of perl!
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
I didn’t knew that (1) Fortran has such logo and (2) I am old. Shit
F in the chat for Fortran programmers.
if you have a favorite language that isn’t on this, you’re a super nerd.
Believe it or not?
No QBASIC, can not confirm.
BASICA represent.
Bottom right should be “You’re a nerd and getting old”.

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
Matlab sucks ass no real engineers use it, only college kids.
I’ve had more than one job where Matlab was used extensively, guess my coworkers and I aren’t real engineers.
I’d rather use something else, but if it’s what the group already uses, fine, I’ll do it
Also, I don’t do a ton of true programming on it. It’s a fancy calculator, and occasionally I make a GUI app with it
What a waste of money when Python is free
I mean, I agree with you, I’d never pay for a Matlab license for myself if I ever decide to go the private engineering consultant route. Just sharing my experience that yes, it’s used in the professional world.
It’s just so weird to me. I’ve worked at a few big companies and Matlab was just kind of out of the question at any of them. It was Excel or Python
So many come out of school with Matlab experience. I get them started with python. They brush me off. Then the license server goes down. Welcome to open source grasshopper! I should make a meme about this and put on my door…
If we’re talking real engineering (like professional accredited engineering and not programmers calling themselves engineers) you couldn’t be more wrong. It isn’t used in deployment necessarily but for modeling and analysis it has no equal.
