I didn’t knew that (1) Fortran has such logo and (2) I am old. Shit
No QBASIC, can not confirm.
BASICA represent.
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
definitely a nerd’s 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.
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).
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”?
promisify(nerd);I only believe in Bun.
Bottom right should be “You’re a need 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.
F in the chat for Fortran programmers.
A real nerd would know that React is a library and HTML is a markup language, and neither are programming languages.
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.
This is how I feel about python. At least you can do C adjacent things in R.
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 blunderLeave it to a nerd to call this out.
Neeeeerd!
A scripting language is a type of programming language…
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.
What your comment says about you:
You are a nerd
What’s the difference between a scripting language and a programming language?
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, basically 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.”

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.
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?
-
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.
Some people think that only compiled languages are true programming languages. (Needless to say, they’re wrong.)
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.
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.
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
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.
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…
What about bash?
Fixed! “Fotran: You are
olddead and a nerd”I might be a nerd…
Julia is a regular nerd?
She is, and she’s lovely.
Please, direct your hatred for R here:
Why hate? It allows for easy functional programming with vectorized operations that bind to C for efficiency.
