Lisp. All is Lisp.
Data's entire consciousness was written as an Emacs package.
Klingons program in Brainfuck. A Warrior's Language!
Vulcans exclusively use APL.
The F in Ferengi stands for Fortran.
Python is banned across the known galaxy. If your race is discovered using it, your planet is immediately bombarded until the entire crust is molten.
Cardassians use Haskell because they're evil.
You missed out Q Basic.
Holy shit you win, lol
That's what the Pakled use. The best of them actually use QuickBasic to "make it go faster".
Just to add - obviously all Ferengi programs run on a Blockchain, and are riddled with microtransactions.
I'll just add that Data was previously built as a Vi plugin, but it was evil, so Doctor Soong disassembled it and shut it down. A lot of trouble could have been saved it Dr Soong had learned how to actually exit Vi.
Evil as in emacs evil-mode?
Pakleds use scratch
Are you sure? They might have learned something then. Or did they get stuck with a turtle-logic compiler instead?
Hahaha, why no python?
The reason has been purged, intentionally forgotten. Vulcans train their entire lives to take on a dangerous task: once every 66 years, the very best of the best view the reason why Python is banned. Once viewed, the Vulcan confirms that it is indeed a just and necessary action to ban the ancient language.
After the task is complete, the Vulcan goes utterly, irretrievably insane and dies mere hours later.
The Q continum uses forth.
No malbolge? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malbolge
Have you seen how people do programming? We see lots of it in Voyager around holograms. It's basically today's AI programming assistants on steroids. everything probably uses some fucking 300 years JavaScript as a basis, and that's why everything keeps breaking all the time.
I really want to see an episode of Lower Decks where the captain watches engineers write programs, comes to the conclusion that "programming is just talking to the computer -- I can do that" and fires all the engineers (or transfers them to other functions.)
Thanks, I read it in Freeman's voice.
Yeah they just tell the computer what they want. They're prompt engineers hundreds of years in the future. Programming, replicator, holodeck, lights in the quarters, whatever. Makes you wonder what all the button pushing is on the bridge. Maybe because it's quieter than everyone talking over each other?
Thank you for plausibly explaining every holodeck episode. That's canon for me now.
This is simply too good...
One million lines of BASIC!
Unstructured Basic (with no documentation naturally.)
Binary
lieutenant commander data structures.
You know it’s JavaScript
Wow. That would explain why a light tap to the shields causes everyone's interface to explode in their face.
Polarity reversal
Ostensibly Lisp, but most of it is hacked together with perl.
UFPLisp
@ZenkorSoraz To paraphrase a developer from the ‘80s: “I don't know what the language of the future will look like, but I know it will be called Fortran.”
If it's the original series, one has to assume that whatever programming is done, is done on a teletype. Nowhere in Star Trek:TOS is there a screen with words on it, because when the show was made... screens with words on them weren't how you got info from a computer.
Rust. Everything is eventually becoming crabs.
