    What does it say about a person like me who reads all these damn memes even though I don’t know jack shit about programming?

        When I saw this reply in my inbox I honestly had no idea which of my posts it was going to be related to because it could probably apply to most of them.

      I’m like that because:

      • I need a hobby
      • weird history with programming, but never actually liked any programming language enough to have a real project.
      • now I found a niche language* that I like but so far it’s just not where I want get started (one example, still no bindings for Godot 4)
      • Ray almost tricked me into making a framework for a framework but I saw right through that
      • personal issues

      *=Nim

        Never worked with nim or godot, but it is able to call c routines? So I guess you would be able to call to gdnative?

        Likely isn’t gonna be beatifull, but it should work.

          It’s something like that, but way beyond me so I couldn’t get something manually let-alone full bindings. I was making a polygon loader+text format for Raylib and didn’t even finish that somewhat due to it not being straightforward to properly implement/use (beyond what I had already that is, and that I’d probably need to make an editor too). And a big reason for wanting Godot is to create and animate polygons in-engine eye example with an editor so yeah I’d rather wait.

      It says you should write some damn code.

      Anyone can program, granted they aren’t intimidated by the concept… It’s actually very easy, and most professionals are pretty bad at it.

      I, and probably lots of others, would be happy to recommend a starting point based on your interests. If nothing else, it will make you smarter

        I don’t know all of them, but I was talking about React being a framework, not a language.

          Hah, I kinda glossed over that one. Not sure what the downvote is about, it’s a joke. JS and PHP are the two I’m most familiar with and they’re scripting languages, not “proper” programming languages. That doesn’t make them any less serious. Anyway, React, being a library for a scripting language, is two steps removed.

            matlab is considered a programming language but that piece of shit acts more like a scripting language than php

            A scripting language is certainly a programming language. In fact, it can be hard to even draw a line at all. PHP is just-in-time compiled, and has static analysis tools that can catch errors that are normally considered “compile-time” - scripting language or no? Is Typescript compiled? Are JVM bytecode and WASM just very low level scripting languages? Can you write a powerful web application using BASH? What even is Lisp, in this context? “Scripting language” is a poor abstraction, really.

      Am I delusional or am I really that nerdy? Who doesn’t recognise at least one of these?

      I feel like they’re all super common language/frameworks

      I really enjoyed using MATLAB in school and it really helped with some of my graduate stuff. What scummy stuff are they up to? Any alternatives you’d recommend?

      OP does not know math people are cooler than engineers and physicists.
