@HelkaHomba And there is no language that can fix that. Well, no good language.

Forcing the user to program in an efficient way will make them shout at you less when their program runs slowly (in theory)
 
El'endia Starman
El'endia Starman
Haha. Another way to look at it is: Pytek allows you to write programs that work quickly, and then make them work better.
Like Python or JavaScript, but more so. :P

@El'endiaStarman your language looks great, and I would love to program in it, but I'm a little worried about the syntax that I've seen you post.
reminds me of:
 
Helka Homba
Helka Homba
@Maltysen Like it has lots of weird symbols? Googling for things like that can be a real pain :/
 
Maltysen
Maltysen
and writing it
one of the many reasons I love Python
@HelkaHomba we're telling you to unkidnap Calvin
 
El'endia Starman
El'endia Starman
@Maltysen Haha, point. I am actually starting to think about dropping the \ in front of functions. I originally had that because LaTeX does it, and it seems nice to me to be able to see immediately what's a function and what's not. Other than that, the only other kind of thing that starts with a symbol are preprocessor directives, which start with @.
 
Mars Ultor
Mars Ultor
@Maltysen Example?
 
Maltysen
Maltysen
@El'endiaStarman i was actually talking about more the title text
where the language tries to use up all the little symbols like they're a golfing lang or something and it makes it hard to write in
 
El'endia Starman
El'endia Starman
5:38 AM
Ah, that isn't what I read the title text as meaning.
Python uses all symbols except three.
 
Maltysen
Maltysen
@El'endiaStarman yeah but in rare places.
 
Helka Homba
Helka Homba
@El'endiaStarman Does that mean something like var x = \myAlreadyDefinedFunction is impossible? :(
 
Maltysen
Maltysen
@ is decorators
 
El'endia Starman
El'endia Starman
@HelkaHomba No, that will totally be possible.
 
Maltysen
Maltysen
` no one uses outside of golfing, etc.
 
El'endia Starman
El'endia Starman
5:39 AM
@Maltysen If that's a backtick, it's not used in Python 3.
 
Mars Ultor
Mars Ultor
@Maltysen If operators don't count, Pytek only uses \ and @
 
Maltysen
Maltysen
@MarsUltor ok cool then
 
Mars Ultor

IIRC
 
El'endia Starman
El'endia Starman
You're right about that.

Hey MarsUltor

I trust it has significant whitespace and no braces?

"Neanderthals and humans lived together in Europe for at least 5,000 years. Neanderthals were strong, and clever. They may have even intentionally buried their dead. But for hundreds of thousands of years, neanderthals barely went anywhere. They pretty much just explored and spread until they reached water or some other obstacle and then stopped. Humans on the other hand, didn't do that. They did things that made no sense, crossing terrain and water without knowing what lay ahead.

Svante Pääbo has worked on the neanderthal genome at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, a…

@HelkaHomba quartata actually found that early on. Lemme find my response.
 
Helka Homba
Helka Homba
@El'endiaStarman I didn't think so. That's why the "Py" prefix irks me. People will just think it's a python library.
 
Mars Ultor
Mars Ultor
@HelkaHomba No, Pytek has nothing to do with Tektronix oscilloscopes
 
Sherlock9
Sherlock9
So that's why the large time gap between C-small and C-large. C-small was fine with factoring that high. It took me a while to realize that I needed any set of 500 32-bit jamcoins, so factoring up to 100000 would grab enough

Check the last pancake, if flip, translate - to + and vice versa, add one to total, else pass, call flip(pancakes[:-1], total)
Hence, recursive

@MarsUltor So how'd you do pancake flipping then?
Start with Pytek as v1 and then for v2 call it TikTek2

5:56 AM
just count each sign change is how I did it
not including trailing + signs
 
El'endia Starman

@Sherlock9 And then TikTekToe for v3? :P
 
Sherlock9
Sherlock9
Yep :D
 
El'endia Starman
El'endia Starman
Actually, that's what you were going for with TikTek2, right? "2" is close enough to "Toe" to work.

Maybe I can put this at the top of Pytek's home page: "You thought this was a Python library? It's not. You thought this was a TeX package? It's not. Now that two of your prior conceptions about Pytek have been dismantled, you are well on your way to understanding the language, because Pytek breaks a lot of prior conventions. Have fun!"

It just occurred to me that all four of my non-working versions of gcj_fractiles.py used itertools in some way and only the fifth didn't because that's when I finally realized a way to do Fractiles without it

I want to be surprised that some PPCG people used golfing languages for GCJ

I want to, but I know better

I only had 2 golfed submissions

I only see your CJam for C-large

And apparently, winny3.14 didn't get the 10 points remaining to be qualified. And molarmanful's time on the code jam expired before it even started.

I have a golfscript for A large

Oh, Golfscript isn't unrecognized

Next year, I should try a submission in a golfing language

I might do a submission in Seriously next year for qualifications

Not willing to try that outside of the qualification round, though. Not brave enough :P

I didn't actually golf my answers... I just used CJam and Retina because it seemed simplest ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

my C small is the first Haskell program I've ever written :)

I'd spend the entire 2.5 hours trying to debug a Seriously program if I used it in a later round :P

@Mego Maybe not, since you have a whole year to work out bugs!

I did Python for all of my submissions

they reject your submission based on language?

@El'endiaStarman Debugging the program, not the interpreter

Probably going to continue using Python

@KennyLau Only if they can't figure out what it is or it's not a valid language per the TOS

@Mego ...that's less amusing, but anyway, I see what you mean. :P

they actually have a rule that you shouldn't try to obfuscate your code
but I'd argue that golfing is not necessarily obfuscation :p

Specifically see section 4.1 of the 2016 rules

" for any round after the qualification round, the compiler or interpreter you use must be available such that anyone else can use it for free without a time limitation and without violating any rights of any person or entity, except that the following are permissible:

(1) Visual Studio, Microsoft Excel, and MATLAB;
(2) compilers and interpreters that require Microsoft Windows or Mac OS X, as long as the compiler or interpreter itself is free, as described in this Subsection (B); and
(3) any further exceptions that Google may communicate to you by email or on the Contest website."

besides, my CJam and GS solutions are fairly readable to users of those languages ^_^

So basically every language is allowed
