HTML 5 isn’t a programming language! (Yes, I’m a nerd)
Assuming you’re talking about HTML5 & CSS it actually is Turing Complete.
Has anyone ported doom yet?
Wrong. Well, at least incomplete.
You need user interaction (e.g., clicking on a button) and HTML & CSS for Turing Completeness, apparently.
It’s a programming language regardless of it’s completeness. You give a computer instructions, in a DSL, it gets interpreted.
Don’t gate keep.
My voyager app is a programming laguage. When i click post, it gets interpreted and sends a comment to the server
Btw, is english a programming language cuz AI interprets it and does something with it?
Who is “it” which interprets things? Is it part of HTML/CSS?
The browser. When it reads the HTML and creates a DOM based on the provided instructions.
So where in that can I encode an arbitrary program? Like one could do in JavaScript?
Create a table of checkboxes with the rule 110 CSS applied.
Translate your program to a rule 110 program and put it in the top row of the table.
Advance the computation by checking the marked (orange in the example) checkboxes row by row.
What if you don’t have a favorite programming language? I’m a firm believer that each language offers a specific set a features that makes each one uniquely suck and I often find myself at the crossroads of continuing to use this garbage or to learn a new language only to find it sucks in a different way. (/s another way of saying each language has its niche… (but sucks outside of it))
It’s like how some infinite are greater / less than others, sure you might say that each one uniquely sucks, but spend a month trying to build something with say, Salesforce’s language, and you’ll come to appreciate how there are still tiers to it… much, much lower tiers.
You are a nerd
Not Verilog though. That shit is for jocks.
I got swirlied by an FPGA
D: You’re unpopular and a nerd.
I think the definition for me would be geek
when you’re so much of a nerd that your favourite lang isn’t in the meme (it’s Ada btw)
Technically, half of those are scripting languages not programming languages.
Anyway my favourite is Bash because I’m weird, even for a nerd.
how is a script not a program??
I always thought that programs had to be compiled to be classed as programs.
Nerds like to push this narrative
That’s just the difference between compiled and interpreted.
Interpreted programs such as web apps can very much be programs, after all.
Interpreted languages have classically been called scripting languages, it’s pedantic but it has use and meaning in the industry.
There is no purpose to mislabeling something and speaking inaccurately in a professional setting.
I am telling scripting languages are programming languages. And also html is not even a scripting language
Pedantic correct. The best type of correct.
No, it’s not. It’s objectively inaccurate.
A computer does not care whether the instructions it’s executing were compiled ahead of time or interpreted on the fly and they literally never have.
LISP: You are an AI researcher and a nerd.
that’s not really true anymore is it though? in my limited experience now that nearly all AI is statistical, it’s mostly implemented in python, R, matlab, or the low level languages that implement their stats libraries like C and fortran
Don’t forget Julia!
How dare you. I’m a physicist, not an engineer.
Yeah, I associate Matlab with my physicist friends, my engineers friends either dont program, or already became software developers.
Is this a safe space to say that my favorite programming language rn is Python?
Its okay. I’m sure you’ll get over it.
