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

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

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

[–] BeardedGingerWonder@feddit.uk 18 points 2 weeks ago

Has anyone ported doom yet?

[–] stetech@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 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!

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

[–] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 17 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Only if you use it for systems programming

[–] ByteJunk@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

Especially writing drivers amirite!

[–] embed_me@programming.dev 10 points 2 weeks ago

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

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

No

Tap for spoiler/jk obvi I like Python

[–] coldsideofyourpillow@lemmy.cafe 4 points 2 weeks ago

When did you get diagnosed?

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

[–] masterspace@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Yeah, I associate Matlab with my physicist friends, my engineers friends either dont program, or already became software developers.

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

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

[–] BatmanAoD@programming.dev 6 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Is Fortran really your favorite language?

[–] ThatGuy46475@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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))

[–] masterspace@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days 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.

[–] bdjegifjdvw@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago

You are a nerd

[–] sundrei@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Not Verilog though. That shit is for jocks.

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

I got swirlied by an FPGA

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

Vhdl gang rise up.

[–] roofuskit@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

Thank goodness, apparently I'm not old.

[–] Canis_76@feddit.nl 5 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] bss03@infosec.pub 4 points 2 weeks 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 weeks ago

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

[–] csm10495@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 weeks ago

Bottom left made me miss Kmart

[–] Naich@lemmings.world 2 points 2 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 2 weeks ago (8 children)

how is a script not a program??
