Hi everyone

Zacharý

Hello

10 hours later…

@WiccanKarnak Lol I can stay up whole night without sleeping for deadlines.

WiccanKarnak

12:22

Though these deadlines are college application ones

Zacharý

12:38

@WiccanKarnak, then why did you delay them ?

WiccanKarnak

12:56

It's not like do or die here in India for most people, they give Joint Entrance Examinations or the CBSE Boards etc. I for one, don't worry about these, because there was a quota at a local university for CL programs for people who qualify for the IOL

And I fit in, so it's not like we prepare for the applications the whole year or spend two/three years of high school focused on college admissions benefiting activities

Some really focused people do, but others are focused on other matters

Zacharý

Your local uni has a CL program ?! You lucky duck!

I've won $850 dollars programming APL, which is the only thing international I've done in my life as of now

WiccanKarnak

13:11

Yep, but same to you, wait is that dollar 850 dollars?

Like circumfix

Zacharý

Yaah circumfix. Sometimes I go postfix, and sometimes I go prefix. I never know what to do with money

WiccanKarnak

Lol that was amazingly humourous

Zacharý

;)

APL is one weird language

Guess what 5×2+3 is

WiccanKarnak

Zacharý

25

WiccanKarnak

13:20

Ah the precedence changes?

Zacharý

Ifs, fors, whiles, are all discouraged

Precedence is not a thing

RTL everything

Sum the first n natural numbers: +/⍳⎕

WiccanKarnak

Oh ok

Zacharý

BUT I GOT BEAT BY AN ELEVEN YEAR OLD!!!

WiccanKarnak

Woah

Let's not scratch that past

Wound

Zacharý

(And him beaten by a senior in College, but that was expected)

WiccanKarnak

13:23

Hmm

Zacharý

It's weird to anyone who has programmed before

1 2+3 is 4 5

WiccanKarnak

Zacharý

(1+3) (2+3)

If you want to learn more, there's a whole room over on PPCG dedicated to it

We have a person who helps create an implementation of the language over there.

If I ever find a CL job programming APL, I'll be in heaven

WiccanKarnak

You mean you will die? 😨

Zacharý

... metaphorically be in heaven, you know what I mean

WiccanKarnak

13:30

I know that's why XD

Hey would you like a cranmango?

Zacharý

Do you know any programming languages, and if so, which ones?

@WiccanKarnak EH? What is that?

WiccanKarnak

Just C++ but not like competitive programming, just basic syntax and i doesn't need comp language to learn logic

Do you know about the cranberry morpheme?

Zacharý

> I doesn't

NO, I do not

WiccanKarnak

Google it , it's something fun, also search for pullet surprises mondegreens etc

Well I was trying to write ONE doesn't

Zacharý

Science of misheard song lyrics?

First language is C++, you unlucky duck.

WiccanKarnak

13:43

It's what the national committee of education recommends _~~_/

Zacharý

I know APL, Batch, Bash, BASIC, C, C++, C#, D, Dart, Forth, FORTRAN, Fortress, Haskell, Java, JavaScript, Lisp, Lua, Mathematica, Python, Perl, Ruby, and a few others. I only really ever program APL, D, JavaScript and Python though

WiccanKarnak

Woah

Zacharý

My knowledge of some of them is very shaky, namely Perl and Lisp

WiccanKarnak

But it's like a drop of water taken from a sea

Zacharý

I don't understand what you mean by that, do you mean I program so few languages compared to the ones that exist?

WiccanKarnak

13:59

No I meant shaky knowledge of two is nothing compared to vast knowledge of the 22 you mentioned

Zacharý

Correction: those are the ones I'm most shaky in.

I'm only really confident in APL, D, Java (5 on the AP exam without taking the course), JavaScript, and Python..

WiccanKarnak

Great still, most people here (except the ones who are exceptionally interested) don't even know C++ until 11th grade

Zacharý

Of course, I learned these all on my own time, since CS isn't offered at our school.

WiccanKarnak

yeah I get that great job!
