I think the definition for me would be geek

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 1 points 20 hours ago

D: You're unpopular and a nerd.

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

[–] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 31 points 3 days ago (2 children)

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

[–] stetech@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days 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.

Has anyone ported doom yet?

[–] ookiiBoy@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 days ago

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

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

[–] BigDanishGuy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day 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 this a safe space to say that my favorite programming language rn is Python?

[–] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 17 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Only if you use it for systems programming

[–] ByteJunk@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

Especially writing drivers amirite!

[–] embed_me@programming.dev 9 points 3 days ago

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

When did you get diagnosed?

[–] Neptr@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

No

Tap for spoiler/jk obvi I like Python

Is Fortran really your favorite language?

[–] ThatGuy46475@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

It’s easy syntax for math

[–] BatmanAoD@programming.dev 1 points 1 day ago

What about Julia?

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 12 points 3 days ago

You are a nerd

[–] roofuskit@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

Thank goodness, apparently I'm not old.

[–] sundrei@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Not Verilog though. That shit is for jocks.

[–] slackassassin@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 days ago

Vhdl gang rise up.

[–] Naich@lemmings.world 3 points 2 days 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 2 days ago (6 children)

how is a script not a program??

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.

[–] Canis_76@feddit.nl 5 points 3 days ago

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