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

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

There's a programming language for that

Yes I suspect that indeed was the joke

Chat GPT does all of my coding for me and even scolds people for culture war hot button issues. Life is exactly like the jetsons

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

Fucking American class culture and anyone who's not an ignorant idiot is "a nerd". Get fucked, The World

Where's the geek? I know at least one of these has to require special training, and a geek is just a highly trained nerd.
