Q: Implementing Multi-File Programs in Vitsy

I'm the proud owner of the Vitsy programming language, which I've been working on for some time (except recently, because high school). It's only been used in PPCG so far, but I hope to expand it to actually useful things. It is a top-access-only 2-dimensional stack-based language that moves in m...

@GraceNote Sorry for pestering you but I'd like to ask again - are there any updates on the codegolf.stackexchange graduation issue? I'm not expecting a "you have graduated" message or anything, just any tidbits you can share about what's going on or advice to increase our chances. I (and I'm sure many other users) have been desiring and expecting codegolf to graduate for many months now, and have felt somewhat ignored by SE, so now that we have your attention I want to be sure not to lose it :)

Post the most abhorrent mathematical notation used by people in authority.

Alex A.

Knuth's up arrow nonsense

PhiNotPi

Conway chained arrow notation

Conway chained arrow notation, created by mathematician John Horton Conway, is a means of expressing certain extremely large numbers. It is simply a finite sequence of positive integers separated by rightward arrows, e.g. 2 → 3 → 4 → 5 → 6. As with most combinatorial symbologies, the definition is recursive. In this case the notation eventually resolves to being the leftmost number raised to some (usually enormous) integer power. == Definition and overview == A Conway chain (or chain for short) is defined as follows: Any positive integer is a chain of length 1. A chain of length n, followed by...
