Where's the geek? I know at least one of these has to require special training, and a geek is just a highly trained nerd.
Fucking American class culture and anyone who's not an ignorant idiot is "a nerd". Get fucked, The World
I'm a pirate. Arrrrr
Ah yes, React - my favorite programming language
Second only to the unsung hero that didn't make it to the image, CSS
What about Haskell?
O julie
What about PowerShell?
Have you ever been to PowerShell Summit? It's the only nerd conference I've ever attended where only about half the attendees actually realized they are nerds at a nerd conference. I love the vibe. It's got style and pizzazz.
That said, the added entry for PowerShell would still be: "You are a nerd."
No, but now that's absolutely on my radar, lol.
And yes! Woohoo!
My favorite programming language is VBA
Legit tho you can do crazy shit with VBA. Excel is not sandboxed.
Lost and confused nerd.
No kotlin eh?
I can help with that one
"You are a nerd"
Not all of these are programming languages btw
You're a nerd for knowing that.
You're a nerd for calling them out about it.
Scripting languages are for popular kids and jocks.
I don’t know all of them, but I was talking about React being a framework, not a language.
Hah, I kinda glossed over that one. Not sure what the downvote is about, it's a joke. JS and PHP are the two I'm most familiar with and they're scripting languages, not "proper" programming languages. That doesn't make them any less serious. Anyway, React, being a library for a scripting language, is two steps removed.
A scripting language is certainly a programming language. In fact, it can be hard to even draw a line at all. PHP is just-in-time compiled, and has static analysis tools that can catch errors that are normally considered "compile-time" - scripting language or no? Is Typescript compiled? Are JVM bytecode and WASM just very low level scripting languages? Can you write a powerful web application using BASH? What even is Lisp, in this context? "Scripting language" is a poor abstraction, really.
