Javascript should say "you are a masochist and a nerd"
- Who thought of that and how have they managed to sustain their core bodily functions this long?
  
  That should be a dog fucking a football.

Rust: you are a nerd wearing programming socks.
- Trying to rewrite everything in the universe
  
  It's a shame that the Rust rewrite of the GNU coreutils was named uutils and not uwutils.

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.
- Therefore I can conclude I am not a nerd
  
  I don't think that's how it works.
- Super nerd
  
  Turbo Nerd
- Same here.
  VHDL represent. Although it's arguably not a "programming language"
  
  you get out of here with your hardware descriptions!
  
  I see your VHDL, and raise with Prolog.. or Postscript, similar paradigm.
  
  You work at IBM or something? Who even still uses VHDL?
- Nerd.
  
  Fair.

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:
  undefined
  
  #include <Arduino.h> void loop() { digitalWrite(13, HIGH); delay(1000); digitalWrite(13, LOW); delay(1000); }
  ? 😂🤮

I know who made this included React and HTML specifically to trigger us programmers, to that I say... well played >:(

TIL fortran has a logo

- The revenge!

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.
  
  When they said, "Don't write self modifying code", they obviously didn't mean me! /s
  
  Is haskell still alive?
- Nah, too relevant, what with LUA, functional programming, currying, and AI, et. al. ;)
  I did an AI robot arena bot in college using Lisp. That was interesting.

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.

Where would COBOL fall?
- "You're in a Nursing Home"
  
  "and 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.
- Neeerd

how dare you Im not an engineer
- What language is that engineer and a nerd one?
  
  Matlab.
- How is your favourite language one that indexes arrays from 1??? You monster!
  
  How dare you count things from one, like a human being.

Where holyC
- You are a christian nerd

what about BASIC

What is the bottom right language?
- Perl. It was the cool thing from 1998 to 2008.
  
  Still the linux sysadmin's language of choice!

Laughs in perl
- TMTOWTDI.
  Nerd.
- It's dark... you are eaten by a grue.

🤓

What is HTML doing here? Blasphemy!

If you're programming in assembly, regardless of what it is, you are the biggest nerd of them all. And I have massive fucking respect for you.

This chart knows me.

...but some nerds are more equal than others.

10/10 would nerd out in PHP again.
- The only more masochist geeks are the Perl ones - especially the ones who entered the "most obfuscated code" contests.

Wow I'm an old engineer nerd. I feel so exposed. Zero is nothing always start at one for life.

As a ruby guy, I'm just happy to be included.

This is deep.

Perl should say: You are old and a nerd or you use Debian

Where is Objective-C?

No. The proper term is GEEK. Needs are uncoordinated, awkward, have no fashion sense, and occasionally tape their broken glasses (or say sheepishly, "did I do that?")
Geeks have in-depth, we'll researched knowledge on topics that are obscure to the "mundanes", have intellectual curiosity, and sometimes gain in wealth as a result. In many cases, they tend to make non-geeks (and geeks for other topics) completely befuddled. This sometimes results in insecurity on the part of non-geeks, which negatively impacts their social lives. On rare occasions, such geeks are so over the top smart that they transcend such petty attitudes (see: Neil deGrasse Tyson)
