D: You're unpopular and a nerd.
Fuck. Ocaml looks cool as hell. I should learn it.
Bottom left made me miss Kmart
How dare you. I'm a physicist, not an engineer.
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.
HTML 5 isn't a programming language! (Yes, I'm a nerd)
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.
It's a programming language regardless of it's completeness. You give a computer instructions, in a DSL, it gets interpreted.
Don't gate keep.
My voyager app is a programming laguage. When i click post, it gets interpreted and sends a comment to the server
Btw, is english a programming language cuz AI interprets it and does something with it?
Who is “it” which interprets things? Is it part of HTML/CSS?
The browser. When it reads the HTML and creates a DOM based on the provided instructions.
So where in that can I encode an arbitrary program? Like one could do in JavaScript?
Create a table of checkboxes with the rule 110 CSS applied.
Translate your program to a rule 110 program and put it in the top row of the table.
Advance the computation by checking the marked (orange in the example) checkboxes row by row.
Well yeah, with CSS and user interaction it’s understandable… as I’ve linked above.
The question was if this is possible for purely-HTML markup descriptions without CSS nor clicks, and it was a rhetorical one.
Has anyone ported doom yet?
when you're so much of a nerd that your favourite lang isn't in the meme (it's Ada btw)
Oof, I guess I’m a nerd
Is this a safe space to say that my favorite programming language rn is Python?
Only if you use it for systems programming
Especially writing drivers amirite!
Its okay. I'm sure you'll get over it.
When did you get diagnosed?
No
Tap for spoiler
/jk obvi I like Python
neeeeeeerd

Hey, I'm not that old!
Is Fortran really your favorite language?
It’s easy syntax for math
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))
You are a nerd
Thank goodness, apparently I'm not old.
Technically, half of those are scripting languages not programming languages.
Anyway my favourite is Bash because I'm weird, even for a nerd.
Not Verilog though. That shit is for jocks.
Vhdl gang rise up.
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.
Truest words ever. Would flash/action script be considered?
