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.

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

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
Where would COBOL fall?
"You're in a Nursing Home"
"and nerd"
I know who made this included React and HTML specifically to trigger us programmers, to that I say... well played >:(
This is deep.
This chart knows me.
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?
