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

[-] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 32 points 11 months ago

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

[-] BeardedGingerWonder@feddit.uk 18 points 11 months ago

Has anyone ported doom yet?

[-] stetech@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Wrong. Well, at least incomplete.

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

Oof, I guess I’m a nerd

[-] villainy@lemmy.world 19 points 11 months ago

Awesome! I guess I'm a nerd!

nerd.js

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

[-] Beastimus@slrpnk.net 23 points 11 months ago

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

[-] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 17 points 11 months ago

Only if you use it for systems programming

[-] ByteJunk@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

Especially writing drivers amirite!

[-] embed_me@programming.dev 10 points 11 months ago

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

[-] Neptr@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Tap for spoiler

/jk obvi I like Python

[-] coldsideofyourpillow@lemmy.cafe 4 points 11 months ago

When did you get diagnosed?

[-] BatmanAoD@programming.dev 3 points 11 months ago

neeeeeeerd

[-] slackassassin@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 months ago

Big oof.

[-] Droggelbecher@lemmy.world 17 points 11 months ago

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

[-] BigDanishGuy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 months 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.

Hey, I'm not that old!

[-] BatmanAoD@programming.dev 6 points 11 months ago

Is Fortran really your favorite language?

[-] ThatGuy46475@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

It’s easy syntax for math

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

[-] potoo22@programming.dev 9 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

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 11 months ago

You are a nerd

[-] masterspace@lemmy.ca 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months 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 11 months ago

Not Verilog though. That shit is for jocks.

[-] slackassassin@sh.itjust.works 4 points 11 months ago

Vhdl gang rise up.

[-] masterspace@lemmy.ca 3 points 10 months ago

I got swirlied by an FPGA

[-] roofuskit@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

Thank goodness, apparently I'm not old.

[-] Canis_76@feddit.nl 5 points 11 months ago

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

[-] bss03@infosec.pub 4 points 11 months 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 11 months ago

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

[-] csm10495@sh.itjust.works 3 points 11 months ago

Bottom left made me miss Kmart

[-] Naich@lemmings.world 2 points 11 months 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 19 points 11 months ago

how is a script not a program??

LISP: You are an AI researcher and a nerd.

[-] azi@mander.xyz 7 points 11 months ago

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

[-] Redkey@programming.dev 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

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.
