Hah. Awesome.

Being a computer science student also, I'm a little surprised you would think that only now can linguistics majors mouth off to engineers. After all, programming languages are deeply rooted in linguistics. Particularly, the creation of compilers is simplest when converting the LL(k) grammar into an LL(1) (best circumstances, of course).

If any of these damned engineers want to do anything more complicated than program servos (for instance 'architectural engineers'), they often have to rely on such software.

And who knows what the heck that other guy is talking about.

Incidentally, Java makes my bits tingle.

Python makes me flaccid. But then, I've never taken the time to properly learn and understand it.

Python makes me meh too.

What do you normally code in?

When I code (at the moment my job requires little to no development, so it's in my spare time, etc), mostly Java, with a little C or C++ here and there. The Java API is amazing and so ridiculously well-documented, especially in comparison to this .NET bollocks.

o man .NET :stab:

I haven't written three lines of code in almost six years. WTF is Java when it's not in my Google-branded porcelain mug? :D

Well, engineers (at least in my experience [my roommate being an electrical engineer]) consider Computer Science to be a legitimate field and major. In fact, they consider anything except that which is within the liberal arts to be a legitimate field/major.

Honestly, someone bitches about every article I submit, it seems. :(

You seem to have nicer engineers than those in Australia. They laffo at computer science students. They're a giant clique.
