COBOL: You’re a fucking dinosaur
Right hand to baby Jesus, I thought Kmart was basically no longer in operation, when did it become a programming language for nerds?
I am old and a nerd and I don’t see Perl on here.
Wait… is it the tiny camel at the bottom?
Yep. It has no logo of its own, so it sometimes gets identified by the animal on the O’Reilly book
perl logo is just the infopop ultimate bulletin board logo.
You clearly were not a perl programmer 20 years ago
it was a joke about O’Reilly, which is also the name of this cunt
Wait… is it the tiny camel at the bottom?
Yes, it appears it is. I thought it was Apache Camel but I was corrected as per the hump count.
OCaml maybe
OCaml has a camel with two bumps. So, that’s gotta be the Perl dromedary camel…
I am in fact an engineer and a nerd. Or as many of us like to call it, an enginerd
I used to be very opinionated about programming languages but now I just really love all of them.
Sure some might not be the best tool for some jobs but maintaining a language is insane and just such a mind-blowing endevour.
No QBASIC, can not confirm.
BASICA represent.
if you have a favorite language that isn’t on this, you’re a super nerd.
Believe it or not?
- Java: you are in corporate IT
- JS: you like surface things more than efficiency
- Ruby: you are a gamer/modder
- Rust: you have long socks
I’ve never heard of Ruby outside Ruby on Rails. What games use it?
RoR: am I a joke to you
Yes
Bottom right should be “You’re a need and getting old”.
Source: I was dicking around with mod_perl yesterday.
I think simply knowing what the “F” is means you’re old and a nerd.
I heard it’s to pay respect?
It’s still commonly used in STEM fields.
I have to take a breath whenever I find an F77 file. Prepare for a lack of objects!
F in the chat for people who know F.
I didn’t knew that (1) Fortran has such logo and (2) I am old. Shit
matlab is nobody’s favourite language. although using it does require an engineering degree, which makes you a nerd.
Or a physics student who wants to cry. cue thousand yard stare to freshman year in college.
at least you don’t have to use simulink, right?
…right?
Simulink was the fun part of Matlab.
neeeeerd
And?
that means you fit in here <3
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
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…
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.
JavaScript: You are jus pretending
Ah, yes. My favourite programming language (checks notes) HTML…
If your favourite programming language is HTML, we do not grant you the title of Nerd.
