Programming is mathematics

>>8510728

Yes, obviously. Did you have a question?

>>8510733
I did not.

According to Google this is a real quote. What a completely retarded thing to say.

>>8510728
yes, but math is much more than just programming.

your post is like stating "classical mechanics is physics"

sure. and there are even some very hard classical mechanics problems. the fields are very broad though, so the statement is vacuous. Same applies to your post

Dijkstra was a pretentious retard. I'm glad he's dead but every time I hear some cs fanboy fetishize him it makes me mad

if you wanted to be a pedantic little bitch like all the other idiots who feel that they need to justify their existence to mathematicians you could just say that whatever you're working on is a branch of mathematics

at its core, you can find mathematics in programming
we see math in programming in the form of formal systems (though many languages are very "loose" regarding such formality) and many languages can be modeled as the internal logic of certain categories
but, of course, you can be a programmer your whole life without ever knowing what a cartesian closed category is

i love computer science and programming but it really bothers me when CS babies try to fit in with mathematicians by saying programming is math

imagine a sociologist trying to fit in with computer scientists because they both use graph theory
