I think the definition for me would be geek

D: You're unpopular and a nerd.

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

[–] [email protected] 31 points 4 days ago (2 children)

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

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?

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days 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?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Only if you use it for systems programming

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago

Especially writing drivers amirite!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 days ago

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

Is Fortran really your favorite language?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

It’s easy syntax for math

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

What about Julia?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

No, actually not haha

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days 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))

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 days ago

You are a nerd

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago

Thank goodness, apparently I'm not old.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Not Verilog though. That shit is for jocks.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

Vhdl gang rise up.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

No [email protected] ? How the mighty have fallen.

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 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.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 3 days ago (6 children)

how is a script not a program??

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