No. The proper term is GEEK. Needs are uncoordinated, awkward, have no fashion sense, and occasionally tape their broken glasses (or say sheepishly, "did I do that?")
Geeks have in-depth, we'll researched knowledge on topics that are obscure to the "mundanes", have intellectual curiosity, and sometimes gain in wealth as a result. In many cases, they tend to make non-geeks (and geeks for other topics) completely befuddled. This sometimes results in insecurity on the part of non-geeks, which negatively impacts their social lives. On rare occasions, such geeks are so over the top smart that they transcend such petty attitudes (see: Neil deGrasse Tyson)

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.

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
- Therefore I can conclude I am not a nerd
  
  I don't think that's how it works.
- Same here.
  VHDL represent. Although it's arguably not a "programming language"
  
  I see your VHDL, and raise with Prolog.. or Postscript, similar paradigm.
  
  you get out of here with your hardware descriptions!
  
  You work at IBM or something? Who even still uses VHDL?
- Nerd.
  
  Fair.

As a ruby guy, I'm just happy to be included.

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.
- What language is that engineer and a nerd one?
  
  Matlab.

Javascript should say "you are a masochist and a nerd"
- Who thought of that and how have they managed to sustain their core bodily functions this long?
  
  That should be a dog fucking a football.

Perl should say: You are old and a nerd or you use Debian

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.

Aww I guess i'm fine since i mainly write in BBC BASIC SDL lol
- Have you come to 2025 in a time machine? Can I borrow it?
  
  Sorry I'm using it at the moment doing research for a Roman trading game I'm writing in BASIC.
- Neeerd

Where is Objective-C?

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.
- Assembly: you are a cyborg.
  Or programming a tiny microcontroller to blink a led as efficient as possible.
  
  Something wrong with:
  
  #include <Arduino.h> void loop() { digitalWrite(13, HIGH); delay(1000); digitalWrite(13, LOW); delay(1000); }
  ? 😂🤮

Where holyC
- You are a christian nerd

I know who made this included React and HTML specifically to trigger us programmers, to that I say... well played >:(

R
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.

- The revenge!

TIL fortran has a logo

Lisp gang rise up! uses inhaler
- Nah, too relevant, what with LUA, functional programming, currying, and AI, et. al. ;)
  I did an AI robot arena bot in college using Lisp. That was interesting.
- 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?
  
  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"

Laughs in perl
- It's dark... you are eaten by a grue.
- TMTOWTDI!
  Nerd.

what about BASIC

What is the bottom right language?
- Perl. It was the cool thing from 1998 to 2008.
  
  Still the linux sysadmin's language of choice!

🤓

This chart knows me.

10/10 would nerd out in PHP again.
- The only more masochist geeks are the Perl ones - especially the ones who entered the "most obfuscated code" contests.

...but some nerds are more equal than others.

This is deep.
