The Nineteenth Byte

I really want to see more focus on writing good challenges instead of answers. Answers are pretty easy to write and are cool to look at once. Good challenges just keep on giving

@mousetail yea, and also good challenges will result in good answers as well, so thats a plus

mousetail

Very true, a question is literally worth 10 answers

Aiden Chow

lol good point, if u r good at writing challenges u will farm rep easily lmao

mousetail

Bad challenges also farm a lot of rep though

Aiden Chow

well if u mean bad as in uncreative then ya u can gain rep that way, but if u write a really bad challenge then it will just be closed

and also i feel like many of us here wont upvote low effort challenges, at least i wont

its more like when a q becomes a hnq, that attracts a lot of upvotes from ppl not necessarily from code golf community

mousetail

Most qs become HNQs, but if the title isn't clickbaity it won't' result in many votes

Aiden Chow

10:35 AM

well usually bad challenges will have some clickbait title so that doesnt help matters

mousetail

Exactly

Those challenges deserve the votes they get for sure, but I think it would be nice to have a extra incentive to create the best challenge in a theme and not worry too much about if it's sufficiently clickbait.

Aiden Chow

yea but what would be the incentive... rep?

mousetail

Rep as a bounty yes

Aiden Chow

hmm as long as u have ppl every month willing to give away some of their rep, then that could work

PyGamer0

@pxeger just that?

@PyGamer0 no it's also missing a load of other methods

@UnrelatedString I'm very amused by the fact that every time you've changed who's in your PFP you've also silently updated your Many Users answer

so, I've figured out the execution flow of Rabbit programs:
1. find the main source file in the target module
2. ANTLR parses the source file
3. Run over that and turn it into a tree of nodes
4. Resolve imports and do steps 1-3 for all of them
6. Do any needed processing on classes and such
7. Resolve and check types for all files, from bottom of import tree up
8. Execute the main method

mousetail

You could consider caching the results of steps between 2 and 7, then it again when running the same file again. Like python does for .pyc files

@Ginger lol

mfw I have an actual use for a linked list

this has never happened before I don't know what to do

LDQ: Should flax have strings?

i am going to hate myself lol

mousetail

3:25 PM

You should name your strings threads

PyGamer0

@mousetail wont there be confusion between string threads and process threads :p

mousetail

No name process threads strings

PyGamer0

oh no :p

but the question is should i add string to my golflang

sure overloading will be a lot of work

but it gives me more builtins :p

(at this point i am just wondering if i am making flax a vyxal but jelly)

mathcat

great slogan lmao

PyGamer0

@mathcat i am pretty sure @emanresuA tried to make something like it

wasn't it called Velay?

found it

github.com/chunkybanana/Velay

Seggan

3:55 PM

@PyGamer0 yes

more types = more overloads

e.x. Fig has a regex type

disadvantage: reimplementing many builtins for strings as opposed to lists

@Ginger you do?

for what?

@AidenChow ill do fig if anything

or rol

i got my most upvoted comment ever

Ginger

4:28 PM

@PyGamer0 do you have lists?

PyGamer0

@Ginger es

Ginger

just make a string a list of integers representing character codepoints

no new types needed!

PyGamer0

lmao you just said what i was already doing

Strings are useless.

lol

PyGamer0

so 1 yes and 1 no

@Seggan agree

Aiden Chow

4:32 PM

@Seggan lol fig isnt even a nomination

PyGamer0

@Seggan that is the reason why i did not want to implement it in the first place lol

Seggan

@AidenChow i meant ill nominate it if we run out

Aiden Chow

@Seggan cool!

u can nominate it rn tbh.... dont have to wait until we run out

also what if we run out of nominations and the only one left is mario lang...

which has -4 net votes

codegolf.meta.stackexchange.com/a/25618/110698 I think I'm ready to post this. Any final comments?

Q: Draw Parcly Taxel's cutie mark

I've been a fan of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic for a long time, and very early on I created a pony version of myself also called Parcly Taxel (warning: may be too cute to look at). The symbol below is her "cutie mark", which you will be drawing here: Construction All key points of the cu...

Aiden Chow

@ParclyTaxel can u give the 3 numbers for each of the rgb values, just for convenience

Parcly Taxel

@AidenChow OK, added

mousetail

6:40 PM

@DLosc Nice

Ginger

7:19 PM

me when ctx.return_type().type().toType()

@NewPosts @ParclyTaxel so is a "cutie mark" like a Twitter verification for ponies? :b

Unrelated String

7:45 PM

typeof(ctx.return_type().type().toType()) as type

Ginger

trust me there's a perfectly good explanation

also,

> ctx.argument_list().argument().map { Argument(it.identifier().toIdentifier(), it.type().toType()) }

I am a professional Kotlin programmer

and ctx.functionType.type == RabbitParser.FUNCTION -> FunctionType.FUNCTION

Unrelated String

@Ginger lol thanks

Ginger

no problem q:

aaah, nothing like finishing up a block of code after making 20+ changes to 5 files just to get it working

DLosc

@NewPosts This is gonna be a "just get something working first, golf it later" sort of challenge

Found a bug in highlight.js's JavaScript parser: it looks like it breaks on i++<6. Fortunately, 6>i++ works.

Seggan

@Ginger correction: I am a professional Kotlin programmer

@Ginger does a return_type need to be different than a type

you have a GH for this so i can ~~roast~~ critique ur antlr?

Ginger

@Seggan fair enough lol

@Seggan not yet

once I have the visitor done I'll put it on GH

A: Sandbox for Proposed Challenges

Nerdle is a Wordle variation, in which instead of words, the answers are equations. Each equation entered in the game must be a valid one. Example: "13³-1=2196" The task is to generate and output to a .txt file all possible 10 character equations that could be an answer for the game (specifically...
