If you're programming in assembly, regardless of what it is, you are the biggest nerd of them all. And I have massive fucking respect for you.

What is HTML doing here? Blasphemy!
Wow I'm an old engineer nerd. I feel so exposed. Zero is nothing always start at one for life.
As a ruby guy, I'm just happy to be included.
Perl should say: You are old and a nerd or you use Debian
Where is Objective-C?
how dare you Im not an engineer
How is your favourite language one that indexes arrays from 1??? You monster!
How dare you count things from one, like a human being.
I beg to disagree. It's a law of nature to assign index 0 to the 1^st^ th... Wait a moment
What language is that engineer and a nerd one?
Matlab.
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.
Super nerd
Turbo Nerd
Same here.
VHDL represent. Although it's arguably not a "programming language"
you get out of here with your hardware descriptions!

Rust: you are a nerd wearing programming socks.
Trying to rewrite everything in the universe
It's a shame that the Rust rewrite of the GNU coreutils was named uutils and not uwutils.
Where holyC
You are a christian nerd
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.

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.
I know who made this included React and HTML specifically to trigger us programmers, to that I say... well played >:(
TIL fortran has a logo
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.
Is haskell still alive?
Absolutely. It's just that less fuss is being made about it on hacker news because the cool kids say you'll be a better programmer in other languages if you learn rust when they used to say that you'll be a better programmer in other languages if you learn haskell.
With stack (consistent package version snapshot database based project starter and build tool) instead of cabal, you get the transferable and repeatable build benefits of docker with none of the hassle. Just stack new at the start and stack build or stack repl during development. Nothing gets bitrotten any more.
Nah, I am not talking about hackernews buzz. I just thought it is dying couple of years ago.
When they said, "Don't write self modifying code", they obviously didn't mean me! /s
Where would COBOL fall?
"You're in a Nursing Home"
"and nerd"
