Which one of these symbols is Bash? If none, does that mean I'm not a nerd?
I might be a nerd...
Fixed! "Fotran: You are ~~old~~ dead and a nerd"
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

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.

F in the chat for Fortran programmers.
A real nerd would know that React is a library and HTML is a markup language, and neither are programming languages.
I didn't knew that (1) Fortran has such logo and (2) I am old. Shit
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.

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.

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.

Nope, JS is “You think you are nerd”.
Also, why React is there? It’s a lib not a language
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.
This guy right here is a certified nerd
definitely a nerd's nerd.
