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.
when you’re so much of a nerd that your favourite lang isn’t in the meme (it’s Ada btw)
LISP: You are an AI researcher and a nerd.
that’s not really true anymore is it though? in my limited experience now that nearly all AI is statistical, it’s mostly implemented in python, R, matlab, or the low level languages that implement their stats libraries like C and fortran
Sure, but as far as I’m aware, no other large group of LISP users exists. My contention isn’t that most AI researchers use LISP now, but that most LISP programmers are (were?) AI researchers.
I’ve been trying to learn about early AI work, and I’m finding that to get any practical details you’re almost guaranteed to have to wade through LISP code, although at least it’s usually pretty well commented.
Don’t forget Julia!
Technically, half of those are scripting languages not programming languages.
Anyway my favourite is Bash because I’m weird, even for a nerd.
how is a script not a program??
I always thought that programs had to be compiled to be classed as programs.
That’s just the difference between compiled and interpreted.
Interpreted programs such as web apps can very much be programs, after all.
Interpreted languages have classically been called scripting languages, it’s pedantic but it has use and meaning in the industry.
I am telling scripting languages are programming languages. And also html is not even a scripting language
Pedantic correct. The best type of correct.
Nerds like to push this narrative
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.
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.
Hey, I’m not that old!
Is Fortran really your favorite language?
No, actually not haha
It’s easy syntax for math
Not Verilog though. That shit is for jocks.
Vhdl gang rise up.
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.
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.
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?
Has anyone ported doom yet?
Truest words ever. Would flash/action script be considered?
Is this a safe space to say that my favorite programming language rn is Python?
When did you get diagnosed?
Big oof.
Its okay. I’m sure you’ll get over it.
neeeeeeerd
Only if you use it for systems programming
Especially writing drivers amirite!
No
Tap for spoiler
/jk obvi I like Python
Oof, I guess I’m a nerd
Awesome! I guess I’m a nerd!
I guess I’m an awesome nerd!
nerd.js
We need to rewrite it to nerd.rs for speed and memory safety!
