groups.google.com/d/forum/cnfrnc-organize for anyone who wants to get involved with organizing an esolang/codegolf conference, first in san francisco probably spring 2017, maybe later in other cities
Just had the stupidest golflang idea ever: it can only take an integer I, as a program. Then it goes on `https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/a/I, executes the program there and answers. This means it will always get 6 bytes on all challenges in the near future of PPCG, assuming there is at least one answer that solves the challenge.
quite a fun way to design esolangs: look at PPCG challenges, then try to work out what sort of language feature would make it possible to beat the front-runner
I don't know... another reason I've been putting off development on this... I'd have to start with a thorough analysis of the actual game mechanics of SMB1 ^^
By the way, did you see this idea I had early on for Funciton, which I eventually discarded because it’s not necessary and would compromise the basicness of built-ins? http://esolangs.org/w/index.php?title=Funciton&oldid=31534#Object_orientation
