What do people here like on toast?

quartata

finally fixed my pl interpreter

@Calvin'sHobbies Depends.

My top three favorites are jam, cream cheese and olive/flaxseed oil.

Calvin's Hobbies

@quartata Aren't those diapers?...

quartata

@Calvin'sHobbies ?

Anonymous

@Calvin'sHobbies Either jelly, peanut butter and jelly, or cream cheese

quartata

Oh.

By the way, flaxseed oil is really nice on toast. It's kind of expensive though so I don't usually buy it much.

Calvin's Hobbies

02:05

Mini-challenge: Take in a 3 char string and output the piece of toast with it as a topping. The only other valid input is the empty string, which should end up as plain toast.

"jam" =>
 ___
(jam)
|___|

"btr" =>
 ___
(btr)
|___|

"" or "   " =>
 ___
(   )
|___|

Also I like the part where you used underscores which means I can't use barewords in pl

quartata

Use the fixed font button instead of backticks.

Cyoce

02:08

where

alert(` ___

quartata

Yeah. There you go.

Cyoce

that works too

no monospace, but I can

Sadly alert doesn't have fixed width

feersum

how many hours should I wait for gcc to install before I give up and find a binary package instead?

quartata

@feersum Right away.

This is why you don't use Homebrew.

Alex A.

ಠ_ಠ

feersum

02:11

What should I use?

quartata

Fink or Macports.

Alex A.

Homebrew certainly isn't the issue

Get a binary

feersum

@AlexA. What do you mean?

quartata

yay hello world works in pl

And cat

Alex A.

Download some GCC binary package from somewhere

quartata

02:12

Or use Fink which does that for you

Anyone know if there is a way to suppress given is experimental at pl.pl line 22. ?

One is essentially a toy, designed for writing small pieces of code, and traditionally used and abused by inexperienced programmers. The other is a scripting language for web browsers.

Alex A.

My boss didn't believe me when I told him that Java and JavaScript are entirely unrelated.

quartata

@AlexA. Ha

I think it would be better if they called JS LiveScript like they used to

Anonymous

@AlexA. Well that's because you-are-wrong-as-usual

Java comes with a JS interpreter; therefore not entirely unrelated

Alex A.

He also didn't believe me that Julia wasn't originally made solely for generating fractals.

Clearly Julia was originally made so that Alex could have a language to golf in that nobody else uses
