Q: Seriously, GolfScript, CJam, or Pyth?

Some time ago, the following question was asked: GolfScript, CJam, or Pyth? Based on the title only, I thought that it would be a very nice challenge, but unfortunately, it turned out to be a question asking for tips. Here is the challenge I wanted to read: Who said golfing languages were not...

That was unexpected

Luis Mendo

Hey, chat shows my old name. Does it have to be changed manually here too?

Hm

A and N

That is weird

I think it happens automatically

Luis Mendo

did you change it in chat?

A and N

00:06

No, only on PPCG

Aqua Tart

@LuisMendo It's because your parent profile is Stack Overflow.

If you change it to PPCG the name change there will be reflected in chat

Luis Mendo

@AquaTart Yes, I was seeing precisely that. That makes sense. Thanks!

But that will change it in all chats?

Aqua Tart

Yes.

El'endia Starman

I've posted 33301 messages all-time, including this one. Wow.

Luis Mendo

@AquaTart Then I'm not sure I want to do that

Aqua Tart

00:08

At least, all chats except Meta SE and SO.

Luis Mendo

@AquaTart why except those? The other chat room I frequent is in SO

so it wouldn't be changed there?

(I'd rather not have it changed there)

Aqua Tart

@LuisMendo It's because SO and Meta SE are different chat servers (chat.stackoverflow.com and chat.meta.stackexchange.com)

They always use your SO and Meta SE profiles

it's weird I know

Luis Mendo

So, to confirm, you say that if I change parent user here it won't affect SO chat, right?

Aqua Tart

Yes.

Luis Mendo

Great! Thanks

Changed

Hm I guess it takes some time until it reflects here

In swiss german it is müesli=)

but you are right, ü is sometimes replaced with ue

Don Muesli

@flawr Oh, I thought it was the general rule

I don't really speak German

It still is used in some street/city names, or if you are typing on a keyboard without äöü

@VoteToClose I still think counting the newline is both wrong and inconsistent with how all other languages are scored.

orlp

@Lynn try the GOLF-CPU :)

@Dennis In what way? I mean, I thought this too, but Martin brought up the point that there is no function without a newline.

OH WAIT IDEA.

Just put it in the main method.

Call it from another class.

No newline. :)

no one any comments on my golf? :(

I felt pretty smart for it

@VoteToClose Of course it is a function. It is the main function. 0m recurses, doesn't it?
