Can anyone confirm accuracy?

Nope, JS is “You think you are nerd”.
Also, why React is there? It’s a lib not a language
- This guy right here is a certified nerd
  
  This guy right here is a certified nerd certifier
  
  definitely a nerd's nerd.
- Node: Did you say "Nerd"?
  
  I only believe in Bun.
  
  promisify(nerd);
- Come on y’all, would you lay off the gatekeeping. Some of us still think the free web’s a good thing, lest we all end up in a walled garden hellscape. JavaScript is therefore needed if we’re being pragmatic. Just transpile it from TypeScript if you’re ~~too stuck up for dynamic languages~~ building something big.
- HTML 5 is also not a programming language.
  That being said. The JS hate is kinda cringe at this point. It's a perfectly fine language all things considered.
  
  I wouldn't say it's a perfectly fine language but I also don't understand the people hating on JS developers. If anything kudos to them for suffering through a language filled with such BS as "==" not actually doing what you think it should do (when coming from other languages).
  
  Isn't it Turing complete or was that CSS?

Ah, yes. My favourite programming language (checks notes) HTML...
If your favourite programming language is HTML, we do not grant you the title of Nerd.

A real nerd would know that React is a library and HTML is a markup language, and neither are programming languages.

matlab is nobody's favourite language. although using it does require an engineering degree, which makes you a nerd.
- Or a physics student who wants to cry. cue thousand yard stare to freshman year in college.
  
  at least you don't have to use simulink, right?
  ...right?

I think simply knowing what the "F" is means you're old and a nerd.
- It's still commonly used in STEM fields.
  
  I have to take a breath whenever I find an F77 file. Prepare for a lack of objects!
- F in the chat for people who know F.
- I heard it's to pay respect?

Most of these are scripting languages. Some are even markup languages. It's like the meme creator didn't even know what a programming language was.
I hope someone got fired for that blunder
- What your comment says about you:
  You are a nerd
- What's the difference between a scripting language and a programming language?
  
  Some people think that only compiled languages are true programming languages. (Needless to say, they're wrong.)
  
  Do you know what community you're in? Do you want to start a war?
  There is no clear definition because there is a lot of overlap, especially when you get into the details, but:
  Scripting languages are often considered to be very high level and can commonly run without compilation. Making them great to automate tasks or create a simplified interaction/abstraction layer to a more complex program.
  Programming languages usually have much lower level access, and by extension they tend to be more complicated. In exchange for that, you get much more control. Although the access varies from Assembly to languages a C programmer would consider "scripting".
  Although for every example, there is basically a counter example. Because programmers being who they are, see it as a challenge to do something with a language that others consider impossible or wrong.
  For example, there are things like NodeOS, a "Lightweight operating system using Node.js as userspace."
  
  One is:
  a scripting/interpreted language needs an interpreter to be installed on the target system in order to run
  a programming/compiled language needs a compiler on the host machine and will run as-is standalone in the target machine
  /me ducks for cover
- A scripting language is a type of programming language...
- Neeeeerd!
- I bet there are people out there that have React as favorite language
  
  Hell, they'll probably put that on a resume, and someone will hire them.

I am old and a nerd and I don’t see Perl on here.
Wait… is it the tiny camel at the bottom?
- Yep. It has no logo of its own, so it sometimes gets identified by the animal on the O'Reilly book
  
  perl logo is just the infopop ultimate bulletin board logo.
- Wait… is it the tiny camel at the bottom?
  Yes, it appears it is. I thought it was Apache Camel but I was corrected as per the hump count.
- OCaml maybe
  
  OCaml has a camel with two bumps. So, that's gotta be the Perl dromedary camel...
- It is indeed the sedulous camel of perl!

No Haskell so I'm not a nerd 😎. Though from the languages I use the most (Java & Python) and other languages I enjoy (Rust, Julia) I can infer that I'm probably a bit of a nerd.
- I believe Haskell makes you the pope of nerds.
  
  Awesome!
- Yeah Haskell is definitely not for nerds. Just too plain and simple.
  GHC :: Your thoughts -> Our commands

I didn't knew that (1) Fortran has such logo and (2) I am old. Shit

if you have a favorite language that isn't on this, you're a super nerd.
- Believe it or not?

F in the chat for Fortran programmers.

No QBASIC, can not confirm.
- BASICA represent.

COBOL: You’re a fucking dinosaur

Bottom right should be "You're a nerd and getting old".
Source: I was dicking around with mod_perl yesterday.

We can just remove the HTML5 entry all together.

As an engineer this is extremely offensive. MATLAB is for fucking tryhards.
- as an R user, what is matlab what is it about
  
  It's mainly a tool for working with matrices (matrix laboratory). This is useful for solving ordinary differential equations. Learning Matlab is usually a requirement for first year engineering students. I'm now a licensed chemical engineer, and I haven't used Matlab since sophomore year.

Matlab sucks ass no real engineers use it, only college kids.
- I've had more than one job where Matlab was used extensively, guess my coworkers and I aren't real engineers.
  I'd rather use something else, but if it's what the group already uses, fine, I'll do it
  Also, I don't do a ton of true programming on it. It's a fancy calculator, and occasionally I make a GUI app with it
  
  What a waste of money when Python is free
- So many come out of school with Matlab experience. I get them started with python. They brush me off. Then the license server goes down. Welcome to open source grasshopper! I should make a meme about this and put on my door...
- If we're talking real engineering (like professional accredited engineering and not programmers calling themselves engineers) you couldn't be more wrong. It isn't used in deployment necessarily but for modeling and analysis it has no equal.

laughs in PLC
- Ah, alcoholic then
  
  Thankfully I suck at that, but holy crap it is prevelent in this industry. The alcohol abuse is cray. Doesn't help when you travel constantly. I don't travel much anymore, but the people who spend 90+% of the year in the field, while having a family, are fundamentally broken. Fun to party once in a while, but when they do this shit multiple times a week, I don't understand.

I am in fact an engineer and a nerd. Or as many of us like to call it, an enginerd
Edit: I wouldn't call Matlab my favorite though... But yes I use it. I mean, I'm on Lemmy... Like loads of users here, I like FOSS. So I'd say python is probably my favorite

Fixed! "Fotran: You are ~~old~~ dead and a nerd"

Right hand to baby Jesus, I thought Kmart was basically no longer in operation, when did it become a programming language for nerds?

Rust: Nerdy Transfem
- Welp, I guess you're sort of right…

Happy to see Julia on the list.
Apparently I am a nerd. I accept that.

I use R for all sorts of bioinformatics shenanigens, and I remind myself daily I am not a nerd. Even my rows of warhammer books, minis and Corvus Corax poster confirm to me I am not a nerd..... The Emperor Protects....my code
- R still gives me chills, never hated a language until I had to use R in my PhD.
  Still furious when half packages need different versions of the same thing making them incompatible.
  
  I am a scientist and I used to use SAS for stats, and then started doing loads of bioinformatics in R. Institute decided they werent going to license SAS anymore, and didnt tell us. We get an email the day of, to say no more SAS. Then we have to drop evrything and concert all our SAS models into R.... Cue removed from instiute leaders as to why we had to halt all publications. Idiots.
  
  This is how I feel about python. At least you can do C adjacent things in R.

Fortran has a logo now?
- It's just an f in serif

JavaScript: You are jus pretending

Java: you are in corporate IT
JS: you like surface things more than efficiency
Ruby: you are a gamer/modder/plugin maker
- RoR: am I a joke to you
  
  Yes
  
  Ah, right, Ruby on Rails.
- Rust: you have long socks
- I've never heard of Ruby outside Ruby on Rails. What games use it?
  
  I know of Minetest. And mpv (not a game) plugins. And Asciidoctor is built in it (for examples outside RoR).

Julia is a regular nerd?
- She is, and she's lovely.

rust: you're about to get a blahaj and a tiny blue pill.

What about bash?
- For n00bs

I might be a nerd...

I don’t think I like any of them. This is just a job to me.
Just saw react in the “language” list and now I’m definitely a nerd.

My dad first learned to Code in Pascal. Where would he fall?
- We nagged our highschool around 97-98 until we got a programming course, we wanted c++ but the IT guy thought c++ would just be a fad, so we learned turbopascal.
- I still do.
  I wish they'd open source Delphi (and most of the libraries). Might actually breathe some life back into it.

Can't confirm, I'm old and a nerd and I love C++

I used to be very opinionated about programming languages but now I just really love all of them.
Sure some might not be the best tool for some jobs but maintaining a language is insane and just such a mind-blowing endevour.

Haha elixir is too obscure to be a nerd just us cool guys putting the fun in function
- No Gleam either. That's one I'm wanting to try out.

Which one of these symbols is Bash? If none, does that mean I'm not a nerd?

Please, direct your hatred for R here:
- Insults %>% Select() %>% filter() %>% nerd()
- Why hate? It allows for easy functional programming with vectorized operations that bind to C for efficiency.

I used to develop with PHP all the time . That was back in 2010 when my teenage soul still had hope and dreams. Can someone still developing tell me what I should use for the backend today? Also I can never understand GIT as a single developer. The fuck is that? I've tried everything to understand.
- Can someone still developing tell me what I should use for the backend today?
  I recommend checking out Python (Django) and Ruby (Ruby on Rails) if you want nice and easy modern Web frameworks that also aren't that weird if you have PHP experience.
  Also I can never understand GIT as a single developer. The fuck is that? I've tried everything to understand.
  Versioning your code with Git makes it much easier to experiment with new ideas. Cocked up a file? Pull it from the previous version. Create new branches for experiments, merge them in if they work, toss them if they don't, or keep them around just in case, without them ever getting in your way in the "real" version.
  And if you keep the code in a server (GitHub etc), that gives you a backup location and makes it easier to work on code on multiple systems.
- I'm a single developer and I use it. It's a great way to backup your files on the cloud with versionning.
- never understand GIT as a single developer.
  I use it to make it easier to work on stuff from my desktop, laptop, from windows or from Linux...
