@pxeger ngn/apl doesn't work

Assuming ATO doesn't support prompt(), you should always call apl.js with -l too.

pxeger

@Adám Thanks for letting me know, I'll add -l but it seems to give another error message anyway

Adám

Yeah.

pxeger

I think the "usage" message is because it wants input on stdin, not as command line args

but when I do that it gives TypeError: x.a.join is not a function

Adám

⍨

Maybe it expects stdin to be an array of strings, so you can join them?

pxeger

I wonder if this is a sign that Iverson's unique programming style was perhaps not the most practical, and ngn perhaps shouldn't have copied it...

Adám

08:09

What?

pxeger

Well that error message contains pretty much no useful information, because x and a are completely nondescript

Adám

Oh, don't blame Iverson for that. It is just ngn's style (possibly adopted from Arthur Whitney).

pxeger

Whitney. That's who I meant.

thinking of the (in)famous 10-line buddy memory management system implementation

Adám

Sounds like ngn.

pxeger

TIO gives exactly the same error

so I'm gonna say there's not much I can do about it

Adám

08:18

So be it. Waiting anxiously to add Dyalog APL…

pxeger

I'll add dzaima/APL in the mean time then, so you can have at least some kind of APL

Adám

:-)

I'm pretty sure that's abandoned too.

pxeger

well, at least there's BQN

Adám

We'll get there. Just working on various bug fixes for 18.2

pxeger

ngn/k doesn't work either :(

Adám

08:33

That is being maintained, so ask in

the k tree

app.element.io/#/room/#ngnk:matrix.org

@pxeger So are ATO links to tight-loop code that doesn't terminate (within a reasonable time) disallowed?

pxeger

well, they are forcibly terminated after 60 seconds

I don't think code in a tight loop for 60 seconds is really excessive, as long as you aren't trying to circumvent the timeout, or running it repeatedly

Adám

I guess experimenting with/golfing some non-terminating solution could be seen as "running it repeatedly"…

pxeger

if you're doing it in good faith, it's permissible
