@undergroundmonorail that's how platypar lost the pangram challenge. I had to type all 5 characters of 'a'z_

@AlexA. i meant it as a rick-from-rick-and-morty-style belch

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

I'm for sure doing Jelly, MATL, Pyth, CJam, Hexagony, Javagony, Vitsy, Minkolang, Jolf, Japt, Teascript 1 2 and 3 (triplets), Seriously, HQ9+, ><>, and Befunge, maybe Simplex.

Alex A.

@undergroundmonorail Oh jeez, Rick.

flawr

12:01 AM

What is MATL?

Cyoce

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ simplex? nepotism

undergroundmonorail

pyth is to python as matl is to matlab, i believe

matl is much younger though

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ What do you have against Seriously? :P

undergroundmonorail

@Eridan my favourite esoteric language: java

flawr

@Mego Too serious.

Alex A.

At this point I think Pyth has diverged from Python far more than MATL has diverged from Matlab.

Anonymous

It predates over half of the langs on that list :P

flawr

12:03 AM

@AlexA. Not sure.

undergroundmonorail

@AlexA. that's why i made sure to point out how much younger matl is. when pyth was matl's age is was a lot more python-like

Alex A.

Right.

Since Matlab is already such a capable language, I personally don't envision MATL diverging that much from it.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

Order by length of divergence from parent language, ascending: MATL, Pyth, Jolf, (Timtechs TI-BASIC golfing lang)

undergroundmonorail

oh man for the esoteric language family i just had a good idea

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

tell me :D

12:06 AM

There should be some kind of esotheric genealogy.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@AlexA. Matlab is not really that capable, it is just good for one thing...=)

There's a better quote from the first episode of SnK, let me find it...

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

Cyoce

drop everything and watch it now

Alex A.

@Cyoce The movie? The special effects were nice but the story was absolute trash.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

The new one sucks though

Cyoce

@AlexA. the show obviously. we don't talk about the movie....

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@AlexA. Avatar the last airbender

Alex A.

12:08 AM

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ Oh. I don't know what that is.

Eridan

What Avatar movie?

Alex A.

The one with the blue people

trichoplax

@Eridan Pretend you didn't hear there was one

Alex A.

James Cameron or someone like that directed it

@flawr It's super capable for scientific applications. Though I would see no other reason to use it. :P

Eridan

(I watched the movie on a school field trip and it was the second-worst movie field trip I'd ever had - The Lightning Thief in case you're wondering)

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

12:09 AM

The Lightning Thief was okay.

Eridan

The premise was stupid

undergroundmonorail

there's a user on this site who used to post a lot of answers in a language called GTB. in theory, it was a literal translation of TI-BASIC. it just did some text substitutions and became TI-BASIC. the problem was that there was no compiler anywhere on the internet, the spec was inconsistent, when the user did mention the TI-BASIC that it was equivalent to it was invariably a wrong answer for the challenge, and they once said "here's the source code for the compiler"... in another language no one could ever find a compiler for.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

Yeah.

Cyoce

@Eridan yeah lightning thief was trash. It didn't do justice to the books at all. the sequel movie wasn't all that bad though

flawr

@AlexA. Super capable as a playground for people who have no idea about programming.

It isn't really fast.

MLTP is major league, they're the bigshot players who are like

TagPro

TagPro is a free-to-play online multiplayer capture the flag video game originally designed and programmed by Nick Riggs. The first version was released in February 2013, after Riggs began experimenting with software platform Node.js. The game is named after one of its three obtainable power-ups. It follows the basic rules of capture the flag, along with some modifications, including power-ups, spikes, and other map elements. == Gameplay == Players spawn in red and blue teams on opposite sides of a map. Each team consists of up to four players, for a maximum total of eight players per game. The...

yeah, his own teammate pushed him by accident haha

the way competitive tagpro works is that there are two "games" and each "game" is split into two 10 minute halves

in each game you have a half as each colour
