\o/
I fully expect hundreds of random people will swoop in and upvote my answers for no apparent reason. That's how it works right?

@mootinator One can hope. And the same for me! Mwahaha! :-P
I wonder how many people failed to get the Beta badge. :-P

Hehehehe.
I failed to get Beta badge for Super User and Cooking.SE, out of all the sites that I did private beta for.
(Mind you, the only other sites I did private beta for were Stack Overflow and Server Fault.)
The Server Fault private beta opened during my sleep. So my userid was 722. I was Very Miffed. :-P

Oh yay, it counted my participation as 'active'
I spent more time deciding I suck at codegolf than participating in the site =)

Ok, I give in, this weekend I'm learning golf script
It's driving me nuts seeing all those answers that best mine and not knowing how any of them work

@Juan I read a basic description the other day. It didn't look hard.
Juan
Juan
@dmckee Maybe. To untrained eyes it just looks like random strings of characters, that just happen to be code by chance :P
dmckee

APL is even more fun that way. The conventional representation of the characters are all goofy mathematical symbols.

Ok, just skimed over the wiki article. Seems incredibly bizarre
17 strokes to find all primes smaller than a given number. It's got golf written all over it

@Juan The thing with GolfScript is that because there's a shortage of available symbols in ASCII, most of the symbols are heavily overloaded.
Therefore, the argument types you pass to each operator will determine which overload is used.
I spent some time writing a Java-based GolfScript interpreter (still unfinished). It uses the Visitor Pattern to simulate double-dispatch.

Yeah, from what I've just read, simple operators like + can do quite a lot of stuff

@dmckee The most memorable operator in APL, at least in the Scheme world, is iota. In fact, the SRFI 1 library in Scheme has an iota function named after the APL operator.
@Juan Wait till you get to *, /, and %. Those are the gnarliest.
Oh look, it's a @gnibbler!
@gnibbler: I missed seeing you in the channel. :-P
I think a couple of people in the channel were asking about you recently. :-P
