Can anyone confirm accuracy?

I am a scientist and I used to use SAS for stats, and then started doing loads of bioinformatics in R. Institute decided they werent going to license SAS anymore, and didnt tell us. We get an email the day of, to say no more SAS. Then we have to drop evrything and concert all our SAS models into R.... Cue bitching from instiute leaders as to why we had to halt all publications. Idiots.
ouch, sorry about that.
that sucks

The first comment worked as bait, but that last question is way too obvious.
Although just for fun:
Then Python is not a scripting language.
That is true. It is often used as one, but it was developed from the start as a general-purpose language.
Would you consider C to be more or less complicated than Perl?
You know about Python, Perl and C. You know the answer and you're just trying to incense people.
No, I'm trying to get people to think. If I laid out my full opinions on this subject (compilers and interpreters aren't that different anymore, even machine code often runs more like bytecode in many ways, "scripting" is a term that hides what's actually going on, etc.), then people get into endless debates. My questions are designed to pick apart assumptions.
Admittedly, people didn't appreciate when Socrates did this shit, either.

I mean, I agree with you, I'd never pay for a Matlab license for myself if I ever decide to go the private engineering consultant route. Just sharing my experience that yes, it's used in the professional world.
It's just so weird to me. I've worked at a few big companies and Matlab was just kind of out of the question at any of them. It was Excel or Python

I am old and a nerd and I don’t see Perl on here.
Wait… is it the tiny camel at the bottom?
Yep. It has no logo of its own, so it sometimes gets identified by the animal on the O'Reilly book

As an engineer this is extremely offensive. MATLAB is for fucking tryhards.

You clearly were not a perl programmer 20 years ago

it was a joke about O'Reilly, which is also the name of this cunt

Please, direct your hatred for R here:
Why hate? It allows for easy functional programming with vectorized operations that bind to C for efficiency.

I don’t think I like any of them. This is just a job to me.
Just saw react in the “language” list and now I’m definitely a nerd.

if you have a favorite language that isn't on this, you're a super nerd.

What's the difference between a scripting language and a programming language?
One is:
- a scripting/interpreted language needs an interpreter to be installed on the target system in order to run
- a programming/compiled language needs a compiler on the host machine and will run as-is standalone in the target machine

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 blunderA scripting language is a type of programming language...

Still a language to make the computer do something. Thus, programming language. Scripts are programs.

Thankfully I suck at that, but holy crap it is prevelent in this industry. The alcohol abuse is cray. Doesn't help when you travel constantly. I don't travel much anymore, but the people who spend 90+% of the year in the field, while having a family, are fundamentally broken. Fun to party once in a while, but when they do this shit multiple times a week, I don't understand.
