It's your rep you're throwing away

So how does it stack up against other stack-based langs?
 
It's incredibly competitive with RProgN2
They often tie or barely outgolf eachother.
 
@Mego its pretty stacked
and its not technically a golfing language, but it ' s tacit

RProgN wasn't ever intended to be a golfing language, but RProgN2 defaults to it's non-verbose mode.

Does Charcoal count as a practical language then? :P
@ConorO'Brien hmm why out instead of print
 
I was following the convention of putc, so I decided put for output without newline. Then I did out because it followed

@Phoenix True or false: Using the C programming language will increase the amount of vitamin C in your body?
 
@HelkaHomba I can confirm that's true, trust me, I'm food.
 
@ConorO'Brien probably easiest by creating a GH repo + creating a new c++ c9 workspace using the address of the repo? Or I can open a workspace
 
2:50 AM
I should probably make a repo anyhow
 
Anonymous
@HelkaHomba False. Vitamin C will be used in the repair of the blood vessels that burst from the stress and high blood pressure caused by using C, so the amount will decrease.
 
@Mego correct
 
Look at the top line
I don't think that's right
 
@HelkaHomba you can't increase the amount of vitamin C in your body, because your body can't produce vitamin C

@Phoenix The chat preview was moved up slightly in the latest version.
 
Ok neat
 
Also, it took some effort to get it to sing "Technologic" like that.
I had it singing "All Star" in marque before.

@Mendeleev oh no charcoal couldn't do as well as v did
@MDXF No because you only allow 10 characters, the only valid languages will be unary and lenguage and decimal and a bunch of other decimal-encoded language variants

@Phoenix I've heard of Buckwheat in the context of The Little Rascals but that's about it...
@Phoenix best way to prepare it?
 
@HelkaHomba Being Russian, the best way to prepare it is to stick it in a slow cooker for half an hour, put it in a plate, optionally add ketchup or a small amount of butter.
If you're more willing to put in time, you can add fried onions like in the photo.
 
Anonymous
I've had buckwheat once or twice. It's pretty good.
 
My staple food might be scrambled eggs with onion
 
How should I (in a compact way of course) represent prefix combos, e.g. ´ + aá. Each prefix has many combos, but there are only a handful prefixes? (Use multiple lines)
 
@JanDvorak Mashed eggs? Like scrambled?
 
5:12 AM
yep, sorry; fixed

Almost no Russian food takes skill to make. I think this is because for a very long time in Russia, even young children would be home alone after school and would have to cook food themselves.

Australian food isn't very difficult to make either.
Damper is a traditional Australian soda bread, historically prepared by swagmen, drovers, stockmen and other travellers. It consists of a wheat flour based bread, traditionally baked in the coals of a campfire or in a in a camp oven. Damper is an iconic Australian dish. It is also made in camping situations in New Zealand, and has been for many decades. Damper was originally developed by stockmen who travelled in remote areas for long periods, with only basic rations of flour, sugar and tea, supplemented by whatever meat was available. The basic ingredients of damper were flour, water, and sometimes...

@JanDvorak That's a big nope
 
or just jam+yogurt
 
@Mego Right, but in our case you add sugar while you're frying the bread, in as large amounts as your mother will let you get away with. The result is that the entire thing becomes sweet even before you pour syrup over it.

If you ever order french toast somewhere you have to pour your sweetness of choice over it yourself.
@ATaco What's vegemite..?
I've heard of Marmite before.
 
@Phoenix You've never heard of Vegemite? It's the Australian food.
Vegemite (/ˈvɛdʒᵻmaɪt/ VEJ-ə-myt) is a thick, black Australian food spread made from leftover brewers' yeast extract with various vegetable and spice additives. It was developed by Cyril Percy Callister in Melbourne, Victoria in 1922. The Vegemite brand is currently owned by Mondelez International, but will be acquired by the Australian Bega Cheese group following an agreement in January 2017. A spread for sandwiches, toast, crumpets and cracker biscuits as well as a filling for pastries, Vegemite is similar to British, New Zealand and South African Marmite, Australian Promite, MightyMite, AussieMite...

I haven't heard of any Australian food until this conversation.
