@DJMcMayhem v^r. is behaving differently in V and in vim, why?

DJMcMayhem

@LeakyNun o_O what's different? There shouldn't be any difference

Leaky Nun

@DJMcMayhem this is so close to out-golfing you lol

HyperNeutrino

@DJMcMayhem Python, no regex: lambda x:"\n".join(map(lambda z:(lambda y:"."*(len(z)-len(y))+y)(z.lstrip()),x.split("\n")))

actually, that takes out tabs too

Christopher 2EZ 4RTZ

While my google search was loading I loaded Dota 2 reddit checked the latest posts, laughed at a few jokes and it is still loading

@Christopher2EZ4RTZ pls google yourself... if your internet is that bad you wouldn't be able to access TNB

DJMcMayhem

@LeakyNun Duh. Nicely done! :)

ASCII-only

@Christopher2EZ4RTZ as in desmos syntax?

@DJMcMayhem it's coincidentally similar to your 8-byter

@LeakyNun You're testing it wrong. Both vim and V start on the first non-whitespace character on the first line

Not really... I mostly abandoned it to remake it with a better parser and object representation (so I wouldn't really change the specs) but never got around because school

But I had a bug with division where dividing a bracketed expression by something twice would cause the content between the slashes to become a regular expression

@HyperNeutrino If it's going to have the same spec can't you just call it a refactor of the Proton code base instead of arbitrarily increasing the TIO lang count?

Conor O'Brien

you should write it in C or C++ because optimizing a JS or python interpreter only yields sadness

(or a similar fast language)

MD XF

I agree with ^^^

Pavel

2:51 AM

@ConorO'Brien Call it CProton. Eventually, someone will write a compiler for it, and call it Croton, which would sound funny.

Or just .... release a new version of the language

I thought about making Cubically v2 a separate language, but I didn't. Cubically v1 is vastly different from Cubically v2, but I didn't want to waste time and energy making a new "language"

Just use GitHub's tag/release system and mark answers as "Proton 2"

Or, if you're only going to be adding to the language, just add to the language :P if you're not modifying existing functionality but only adding new functionality, no need for another language/version...

It just has to be on the first line

ATaco

I don't know why lua is allowing for shebangs.

Pavel

3:56 AM

(I knew Common Lisp has simmilar behaviour so I tried it and it worked)

@ATaco Obviously so you can call Lua scripts more conveniently on unix

ATaco

Oh jesus, Lua allows for Shebangs.

I'm, kind of impressed?

The language is old.

Pavel

@ATaco It was created in 1993

That's not old, relatively speaking.

Unix came from the 60s

@Pavel That would indeed be a better idea; once I've decided whether or not I'm going to continue with the idea of making a language all over again and whether or not I'm going to keep the specs from proton. If I decide to use the same specs then I'll probably just replace parts of the original code so I can keep it functional as I improve it, but if not, then I'd have to remake the whole thing and name it something different.

@ATaco what's the difference between lua53.exe, luac53.exe, and wlua53.exe?

ATaco

No idea, I recommend running lua53.exe though.

Pavel

Seems good

(kinda wish there was an installer to add it to PATH but oh well guess I have to do that myself)

(And also symlink lua.exe to lua53.exe)
