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

[-] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 32 points 2 years ago

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

Has anyone ported doom yet?

[-] stetech@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Wrong. Well, at least incomplete.

You need user interaction (e.g., clicking on a button) and HTML & CSS for Turing Completeness, apparently.

We need to rewrite it to nerd.rs for speed and memory safety!

[-] Beastimus@slrpnk.net 23 points 2 years ago

Is this a safe space to say that my favorite programming language rn is Python?

[-] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 17 points 2 years ago

Only if you use it for systems programming

[-] ByteJunk@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Especially writing drivers amirite!

[-] embed_me@programming.dev 10 points 2 years ago

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

[-] Neptr@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

No

Tap for spoiler/jk obvi I like Python

[-] coldsideofyourpillow@lemmy.cafe 4 points 2 years ago

When did you get diagnosed?

[-] Droggelbecher@lemmy.world 17 points 2 years ago

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

[-] BigDanishGuy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years 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.

when you're so much of a nerd that your favourite lang isn't in the meme (it's Ada btw)

[-] thisfro@slrpnk.net 13 points 2 years ago
[-] BatmanAoD@programming.dev 6 points 2 years ago

Is Fortran really your favorite language?

[-] ThatGuy46475@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

It’s easy syntax for math

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))

[-] bdjegifjdvw@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago

You are a nerd

[-] masterspace@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It's like how some infinite are greater / less than others, sure you might say that each one uniquely sucks, but spend a month trying to build something with say, Salesforce's language, and you'll come to appreciate how there are still tiers to it... much, much lower tiers.

[-] sundrei@lemmy.sdf.org 8 points 2 years ago

Not Verilog though. That shit is for jocks.

[-] slackassassin@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 years ago

Vhdl gang rise up.

[-] masterspace@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

I got swirlied by an FPGA

[-] roofuskit@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

Thank goodness, apparently I'm not old.

[-] Canis_76@feddit.nl 5 points 2 years ago

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

[-] bss03@infosec.pub 4 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] ookiiBoy@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 years ago

Fuck. Ocaml looks cool as hell. I should learn it.

[-] csm10495@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago

Bottom left made me miss Kmart

[-] Naich@lemmings.world 2 points 2 years ago

Technically, half of those are scripting languages not programming languages.

Anyway my favourite is Bash because I'm weird, even for a nerd.

[-] azi@mander.xyz 18 points 2 years ago

how is a script not a program??
