You are a christian nerd
Aww I guess i'm fine since i mainly write in BBC BASIC SDL lol
Have you come to 2025 in a time machine? Can I borrow it?
Sorry I'm using it at the moment doing research for a Roman trading game I'm writing in BASIC.
I am not in this chart because my favourite programming languages are too nerdy for the cool programming nerds to include in their nerd chart.
Same here.
VHDL represent. Although it's arguably not a "programming language"
you get out of here with your hardware descriptions!
Therefore I can conclude I am not a nerd
I don't think that's how it works.
Nerd.
Fair.
Laughs in perl
TMTOWTDI.
Nerd.
R
We can reject the null hypothesis that you are not a nerd at significance $\alpha < 0.001$.
oh wait, shit let me run that again, my data frame is full of NA somehow, again.
Rust: you are a nerd wearing programming socks.
Cobol: you are old, and a nerd, and probably making some sweet cheddar right now propping up a mid to late 20th century beast somewhere.
Assembly: you are a cyborg.
Assembly: you are a cyborg.
Or programming a tiny microcontroller to blink a led as efficient as possible.
Something wrong with:
#include <Arduino.h>
void loop() {
digitalWrite(13, HIGH);
delay(1000);
digitalWrite(13, LOW);
delay(1000);
}
? 😂🤮
Obviously the only correct way to blink an LED is to use a hardware timer to trigger a DMA transfer which stores a bit in the pin toggle register at a set interval
Javascript should say "you are a masochist and a nerd"
That should be a dog fucking a football.
Who thought of that and how have they managed to sustain their core bodily functions this long?
Probably this guy 
with his therapist 🤣
what about BASIC
Lisp gang rise up! uses inhaler
As a haskell nerd, I feel that I have the moral authority to declare you king of the nerds.
"Ha! You think your language has macros? You call that a macro?! This list processing code is a list of tokens, why wouldn't it be able to edit itself?"
It breaks my brain.
TIL fortran has a logo
I know who made this included React and HTML specifically to trigger us programmers, to that I say... well played >:(
Where would COBOL fall?
"You're in a Nursing Home"
"and nerd"
What is the bottom right language?
Perl. It was the cool thing from 1998 to 2008.
Still the linux sysadmin's language of choice!
🤓
...but some nerds are more equal than others.
This chart knows me.
10/10 would nerd out in PHP again.
This is deep.
