What does it say about a person like me who reads all these damn memes even though I don't know jack shit about programming?
- You're a geek.
  
  When I saw this reply in my inbox I honestly had no idea which of my posts it was going to be related to because it could probably apply to most of them.
  
  They bite the heads off live chickens!?
  https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geek_show
- I'm like that because:
  I need a hobby
  weird history with programming, but never actually liked any programming language enough to have a real project.
  now I found a niche language that I like but so far it's just not where I want get started (one example, still no bindings for Godot 4)
  Ray almost tricked me into making a framework for a framework but I saw right through that
  personal issues
  =Nim
  
  Might I suggest a Haskell for the indecisive diner?
  
  Never worked with nim or godot, but it is able to call c routines? So I guess you would be able to call to gdnative?
  Likely isn't gonna be beatifull, but it should work.
- It says you should write some damn code.
  Anyone can program, granted they aren't intimidated by the concept... It's actually very easy, and most professionals are pretty bad at it.
  I, and probably lots of others, would be happy to recommend a starting point based on your interests. If nothing else, it will make you smarter
- maybe, on off-chance, you fall under the term script monkey?
  it's like someone who understands well enough to run things but not grok through.
  just remembered stumbling on it while reading some sci-fi.
  
  Hahaha nope. 99% of these are utter nonsense to me.

Ah yes, React - my favorite programming language
- Second only to the unsung hero that didn't make it to the image, CSS
  
  If you're favourite is CSS you are an artist.
- Behold!

Anyone who says Matlab is their favorite programming language is very misguided
- It's the only programming language I really delved into. I haven't had to program since college. I found it very useful.

"You are an engineer and a nerd"
We call them "enginerds", thank you very much.
- What language is that one?
  
  https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/MATLAB
  
  Matlab

My relationship with JavaScript is more like an abusive relationship that I can't escape from because it pays all the bills.
- It’s worth going hungry in the dark. Lawyer up and hit the gym. JS doesn’t deserve you.
  
  And a Python developer is born!
  Source: I moved on from an abusive relationship with JavaScript to a healthy not-at-all-controlling equal partner relationship with Python. And four spaces makes perfect sense, once I really considered Python's point of view...
- You just described my life. JS is hell.
  
  You guys are using typescript right? .... right?
- Try typescript

Not all of these are programming languages btw
- You're a nerd for knowing that.
  
  You're a nerd for calling them out about it.
  
  I was basically begging for that comment ^
- Scripting languages are for popular kids and jocks.
  
  I don’t know all of them, but I was talking about React being a framework, not a language.

What You're acc to your fav language
Parse error in /usr/lib/dict/en_all.h

MATLAB is such a scam. Luckily a growing amount of universities are starting to realise it.
- I really enjoyed using MATLAB in school and it really helped with some of my graduate stuff. What scummy stuff are they up to? Any alternatives you'd recommend?
  
  Python with numpy/matplotlib/scipy.

I am not a nerd, I am actually a gigachad. Selfie
- This interface is bloated
- How did you take a selfie with your feet? Impressive.

If you recognize them all, you're a double nerd
- Can I be a 1.99x nerd if I missed the bird one? (Swift, from a quick search)
- Guess I'm one.
- Am I delusional or am I really that nerdy? Who doesn't recognise at least one of these?
  I feel like they're all super common language/frameworks

Ah yes, React my favorite programming language.

Mine is "nobody cares about camels anymore"
- Oh, Camels...
- We're old nerds.
  
  You are a nerd and your back hurts
- Is that an OCaml reference/joke?
  
  Perl. But OCaml works too, I guess.
- tbf perl nerds still are some of the nerdiest of nerds
- The poetry contests were great. I miss that.

What about PowerShell?
- Have you ever been to PowerShell Summit? It's the only nerd conference I've ever attended where only about half the attendees actually realized they are nerds at a nerd conference. I love the vibe. It's got style and pizzazz.
  That said, the added entry for PowerShell would still be: "You are a nerd."
  
  No, but now that's absolutely on my radar, lol.
  And yes! Woohoo!
- My favorite programming language is VBA
  
  Legit tho you can do crazy shit with VBA. Excel is not sandboxed.
- Lost and confused nerd.

Omg, it's scary how accurate this is!
I am a nerd!

Elixir: Look of superiority
- IYKYK

Why are we all accumulators?

I don't have a favorite language, I just hate haskell less than all the other languages I have tried.
- Do you get a heart attack every time you need to write to a database, effectively causing a side-effect? Only real Haskell developers do.
  
  Dude, I have a heart attack when I lift a finger, causing a side effect to the keyboard.
  In fact, I have a heart attack whenever my heart starts beating, causing a side effect in my veins.

No kotlin eh?
- I can help with that one
  "You are a nerd"
  
  Woohoo!

Im not an engineer
- OP does not know math people are cooler than engineers and physicists.
  
  Purer ≠ cooler

PHP: You're not a nerd. But you are at least trying.
- PHP: You were a nerd, now you're just outdated (and/or a WordPress developer).

Well shit. It's got me dead to rights on a couple of these.

It seems to me some of those should be "you're a masochist and a nerd" when they're somebody's favorite language.

Lua?
- Roblox Player ;) JK

I don't see Haskell on there!

Look, I was forced to learn R (very badly) for my PhD (which I didn’t complete). So technically I’m not a nerd (it’s sadder than that). Yay!!

Rust: you are transgender
ASM: you are a nerd
Python: You are a high school student
Java: Your brain is so big you can accomplish anything.
PHP: You could likely do it all in JavaScript
HTML + CSS: You don't know programming but still want to look cool. If you need JavaScript you can ask ChatGPT.
Brainfuck: you like to brag
- Python one is so fucking real as a high school student but I also know JavaScript and bash

What about whitespace?
- There's a programming language for that
  
  Yes I suspect that indeed was the joke

Hey, I’m an engineer and a nerd and I prefer R. It not only does statistics, it lets me show them so clearly a business major can understand the implications
- I'm a software engineer and data scientist.
  MATLAB is trash politically, monetarily, for writing APIs, for structuring your APIs and code, and for packaging your work.
  The only limitation R has is the structuring one.
  I prefer Python. And Rust.

What's the one to the right of Java?
- Matlab
  
  Proprietary matplotlib

in my completely accurate and objective opinion:
Javascript: you are a frontend web dev (hopefully)
C++: you spent too long learning keywords and classes, you might as well use them
Rust: you like big naked men butt booty wrestling
Asm: you dont know what a 'type' is
Go: you have chosen a perfect language.
React: you know its not a framework, so then it must be a language, right?
Python: either a child, or an ai expert
C: you are a better programmer than everyone else, because you know what a pointer is
PHP: rich
C#: learning game development just because you like video games
Swift: idk really. something to do with apple?
R: ????
i use Rust btw
- Perl: You're an old nerd who remembers before Python was a thing, or else a nerd who really likes funky syntax and symbols everywhere and PHP just wasn't right for you.
  Raku: You're an old nerd who remembers before Python took over from your former beloved Perl and instead of opting for simpler, cleaner syntax, you decided that being able to go the other way entirely was absolutely for you, or else you're a nerd who likes really, really funky syntax and Python, PHP and even Perl seem too much like kids toys.
  Ada: You're an old nerd who was taught it at some college or other or else you're an engineer writing mission critical systems and this is the language everything is written in and no-one will switch to anything else.
  BASIC: You're an old nerd (you might be sensing a theme here) who taught themselves programming at some point in the '70s, '80s or '90s and you'll get around to learning another language some day, but right now this interpreter you found online that runs in a console window suits you just fine.
  Shell scripting: You're a nerd who really ought to rewrite some of those unwieldy beasts in something else at some point but you've learned it this way and don't have time for anything else right now. Time for another hack.
  Powershell: You're a nerd who's found something that "really makes sense, you know?"
  COBOL: See Ada but exchange "mission critical" for "banking".
  Prolog: You are a nerd who plays Towers of Hanoi in their head for fun.
  Haskell: You are a nerd whose flying saucer is a glass dome followed by a function that describes the rest of it, which may or may not be the same function that described the glass dome in the first place.
  Lisp: You are a nerd for whom parentheses make you feel warm and fuzzy, if not other feelings that cannot be spoken of in polite company. If you like Emacs, you like Emacs.
  
  Oh, I like Emacs, alright. I spend more time in Emacs than in my partners.
