Well since things are almost over, here's a hint: If your interpreter is in Haskell, Java, Racket, Ocaml (basically not Ruby/Perl/Python/C/C++), it's probably not on the list :P

17,13 prints the 13 integers that follow as characters.
Try it online here. (Don't forget to replace the example with the above source code.)
The above code is equivalent to the following 23.ixsy code (1174 bytes):

They work fine form my desktop, but on my phone, I get a 404 from the Wayback Machine.
well, you can basically loop a segment x by writing 33x33. the catch is that before the segment you need to be over a 0, to continue the loop you need to be over a 1 and to leave it you need to be over a 0 again. that's a bit tricky to set up, but I've found at least one case where it saves 2 bytes in the hello world.
the problem is that it costs 4 bytes, so you need quite considerable repetition for it to save anything
you can probably also loop it with 3x33 or 33x3 if you start or end on an index less than 0 but I haven't looked into that yet
"I'm fairly certain that one could find a couple more loops that I've overlooked. But I also think that it's possible to find a significantly shorter solution that isn't based on anything a human would come up with." Interesting... might give is a shot some day but it'd be really far down my backlog :P
"Take an integer n and output a uniform random nxn matrix of bits. The program should take exponentially longer for increasing n. Scoring is 1 if you use C++ or Nim, 0.5 if you use Java or PyPy, 0 otherwise."
Last time I tried to sort a string I had to do about 3 imports (strutils, sequtils, algorithm) only to find out that it's shorter and easier to just not use the builtin sort
Might be a case of not knowing the language well enough though
Comparing two numbers
code-golf
Challenge
Given two integers a and b as input, you must write a program which outputs if a>b, a==b or a<b.
Outputs
If a>b output
A is greater than B
If a==b output
A is equal to B
If a<b output
A is less than B
Where you replace A and B for their inte...
I'd like to put out a bounty for Wierd (although I'll probably just announce it in a comment like you did)... my problem is that a HW with correct spelling already exists, and I don't want to give 500 rep to someone who just posts that and manages to shave off a byte by simple shortening of one wire or so

@randomra I'd say ~English revised doesn't have an Esolang article in the same fashion Python 2 doesn't have a Wikipedia article. It's essentially version 2.0, which the author called revised because it resembles a natural language.
If per-site blogs are ever coming back, it won't be for a long time. We love the enthusiasm, and we still think new ongoing blogs would be super cool, but site blogs are just not anywhere near the front of the line for resources right now. It'll be 6-8 something... but it definitely isn't "weeks"...
@Doorknob Thoughts on what kind of posts we would put there?
hm, I kind of want to add an answer to Showcase your Language for Labyrinth, but since I already have the ridiculously popular Mathematica answer I'm a bit hesitant :/
@MartinBüttner Oh, heh. We could write about golfing languages, interesting golfing techniques, fun programming puzzles / challenges that wouldn't necessarily be as good of a fit for the main site (because there's only one right answer), stuff like that.
@MartinBüttner It needed a variety of people anyway - I'm guessing it's the one offs that made the difference in the end
@Doorknob That's good to know. If we start a conversation here then we can keep an eye on theirs to see what to remember/avoid
I think a relaxed schedule would be best for a blog - if we commit to once a month and then miss one it seems a failure, but if we just have a post now and then when there's a reason to it will always seem positive
Labyrinth
Labyrinth is my new two-dimensional programming language. I'm unreasonably proud of how it turned out, so I figured this would be a good place to introduce it and maybe popularise it a bit.
Factoid
Labyrinth is a 2D stack-based language without any control flow commands. Instead, con...
@BetaDecay Fallen dead with 22 answers?? I'd leave the bounty for the rest of the 5 days myself, to give the question and it's many answers more publicity.
@BetaDecay I think the idea is to reward people for consistent good posts, rather than let a spike in popularity give more rep to someone with just one excellent post, than to someone with many perfectly good but not super-popular posts
Took me forever to scroll down to your Labyrinth examples, even sorted by active, because some inconsiderate someone has pinned a really long Mathematica answer to the top :P
