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

[–] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 33 points 1 month ago (2 children)

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

[–] BeardedGingerWonder@feddit.uk 18 points 1 month ago

Has anyone ported doom yet?

[–] stetech@lemmy.world 10 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago) (7 children)

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 24 points 1 month ago (7 children)

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

[–] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 17 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Only if you use it for systems programming

[–] ByteJunk@lemmy.world 6 points 4 weeks ago

Especially writing drivers amirite!

[–] embed_me@programming.dev 10 points 4 weeks ago

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

[–] Neptr@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

No

Tap for spoiler/jk obvi I like Python

[–] coldsideofyourpillow@lemmy.cafe 4 points 4 weeks ago

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

[–] BigDanishGuy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 weeks 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.

Is Fortran really your favorite language?

[–] ThatGuy46475@lemmy.world 6 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

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 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

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 1 month ago

You are a nerd

[–] masterspace@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks 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 1 month ago (2 children)

Not Verilog though. That shit is for jocks.

[–] slackassassin@sh.itjust.works 4 points 4 weeks ago

Vhdl gang rise up.

[–] masterspace@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 weeks ago

I got swirlied by an FPGA

[–] roofuskit@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

Thank goodness, apparently I'm not old.

[–] Canis_76@feddit.nl 5 points 1 month ago

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

[–] bss03@infosec.pub 4 points 1 month 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 4 weeks ago

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

[–] Naich 3 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

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 4 weeks ago (1 children)

how is a script not a program??

[–] Naich 1 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

I always thought that programs had to be compiled to be classed as programs.

[–] lord_ryvan@ttrpg.network 15 points 4 weeks ago (5 children)

That's just the difference between compiled and interpreted.

Interpreted programs such as web apps can very much be programs, after all.

Nerds like to push this narrative

You're an alien... And a nerd.
