No. The proper term is GEEK. Needs are uncoordinated, awkward, have no fashion sense, and occasionally tape their broken glasses (or say sheepishly, "did I do that?")

Geeks have in-depth, we'll researched knowledge on topics that are obscure to the "mundanes", have intellectual curiosity, and sometimes gain in wealth as a result. In many cases, they tend to make non-geeks (and geeks for other topics) completely befuddled. This sometimes results in insecurity on the part of non-geeks, which negatively impacts their social lives. On rare occasions, such geeks are so over the top smart that they transcend such petty attitudes (see: Neil deGrasse Tyson)

If you're programming in assembly, regardless of what it is, you are the biggest nerd of them all. And I have massive fucking respect for you.

What is HTML doing here? Blasphemy!

I am not in this chart because my favourite programming languages are too nerdy for the cool programming nerds to include in their nerd chart.

[-] KSPAtlas@sopuli.xyz 7 points 3 days ago

Therefore I can conclude I am not a nerd

How is your favourite language one that indexes arrays from 1??? You monster!

[-] oyo@lemm.ee 3 points 2 days ago

How dare you count things from one, like a human being.

[-] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 2 points 2 days ago

I beg to disagree. It's a law of nature to assign index 0 to the 1^st^ th... Wait a moment

It's a shame that the Rust rewrite of the GNU coreutils was named uutils and not uwutils.

Cobol: you are old, and a nerd, and probably making some sweet cheddar right now propping up a mid to late 20th century beast somewhere.

Assembly: you are a cyborg.

R

We can reject the null hypothesis that you are not a nerd at significance $\alpha < 0.001$.

oh wait, shit let me run that again, my data frame is full of NA somehow, again.

Lisp gang rise up! uses inhaler

[-] MasterBlaster@lemmy.world 1 points 18 hours ago

Nah, too relevant, what with LUA, functional programming, currying, and AI, et. al. ;)

I did an AI robot arena bot in college using Lisp. That was interesting.
