at least you don't have to use simulink, right?
...right?

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.
This is how I feel about python. At least you can do C adjacent things in R.

I think that was it? But it's also been almost 20 years

Please, direct your hatred for R here:
Insults %>% Select() %>% filter() %>% nerd()

It's still commonly used in STEM fields.
I have to take a breath whenever I find an F77 file. Prepare for a lack of objects!

I am in fact an engineer and a nerd. Or as many of us like to call it, an enginerd
Edit: I wouldn't call Matlab my favorite though... But yes I use it. I mean, I'm on Lemmy... Like loads of users here, I like FOSS. So I'd say python is probably my favorite

Matlab sucks ass no real engineers use it, only college kids.
wrote on last edited by [email protected]So many come out of school with Matlab experience. I get them started with python. They brush me off. Then the license server goes down. Welcome to open source grasshopper! I should make a meme about this and put on my door...

wrote on last edited by [email protected]I've had more than one job where Matlab was used extensively, guess my coworkers and I aren't real engineers.
I'd rather use something else, but if it's what the group already uses, fine, I'll do it
Also, I don't do a ton of true programming on it. It's a fancy calculator, and occasionally I make a GUI app with it

Right hand to baby Jesus, I thought Kmart was basically no longer in operation, when did it become a programming language for nerds?

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.

Some people think that only compiled languages are true programming languages. (Needless to say, they're wrong.)

Yeah, once you know all the details, the distinction disappears. The term doesn't clarify understanding.
If I had to make a distinction, it'd be that scripting languages are meant to be a simple way to serve a specific niche. Things like SQL or Excel formulas. It doesn't apply to Python.
-

Needless to say, they're wrong.
Not least because there's no such thing as a "compiled" or "interpreted" language.
Which is to say that it's a property of the tooling rather than the language itself. There's nothing stopping anyone from writing a C interpreter or a Python compiler.

I am old and a nerd and I don’t see Perl on here.
Wait… is it the tiny camel at the bottom?

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.

There is no clear definition because there is a lot of overlap, especially when you get into the details, but:
-
Scripting languages are often considered to be very high level and can commonly run without compilation. Making them great to automate tasks or create a simplified interaction/abstraction layer to a more complex program.
-
Programming languages usually have much lower level access, and by extension they tend to be more complicated. In exchange for that, you get much more control. Although the access varies from Assembly to languages a C programmer would consider "scripting".
Although for every example, there is basically a counter example. Because programmers being who they are, see it as a challenge to do something with a language that others consider impossible or wrong.
For example, there are things like NodeOS, a "Lightweight operating system using Node.js as userspace."
