Quite a few programming languages have been made to specifically to facilitate code golfing, like GolfScript, Pyth, CJam, Retina, and Jelly. Other programming languages just naturally lend themselves to golfing, like the APL family of languages (J, K, etc. Well, really Jelly too.), and TI-Basic....

I guess, although no one other than me has ever attempted to use it.

Well if it's on TIO now, I guess you have more of a chance :P

Speaking of which, @Dennis Could you please add ><> to TIO? I feel like the current online interpreter has a few quirks which differ from the official one

I actually think I understand why we are getting two different responses. On the "features we want" people are much more prone to upvote thinking "yeah, that sounds cool", where an actual meta post gets people actually considering the issue at hand

(though I may be biased in my assessment because I'm against it)

@NathanMerrill It's not perfect, but I took a stab at answering: meta.codegolf.stackexchange.com/a/8618/14215

@NathanMerrill I upvoted the first one, thinking "yes this is a difference from being a Q&A site", but on seeing the second one, the dedicated meta post, I can see why it's a bad idea and I would change my vote if the answer was edited.

Nathan Merrill

you would change your vote if what answer was edited?

oh are you prevented from changing on the Q&A site?

@IGoBest I disagree with your first point, agree with your second two, and you can add me to the list

@NathanMerrill Yes, but I imagine @AlexA. will be fine with an edit to allow vote changing. Does that sound reasonable Alex?

+1. And I'd like to change my vote on this proposal if it gets edited to allow it. — trichoplax 3 mins ago

@IGoBest Nitpick: my first post was a KOTH answer. ;) Still, +1, and I'm in the same situation as @trichoplax with respect to the earlier proposal.

I was initially in favour of this, but I have been dissuaded. I think finding 1 HelkaHomba level challenge writer is worth putting up with 100 new users with low quality first challenges. It's work for the community, but think of that work as mining for new challenge writers. — trichoplax 10 mins ago

@Zgarb Really? Your profile shows you asking two questions before the KotH answer. This one first: codegolf.stackexchange.com/q/41375/14215

I guess if it was deleted it wouldn't show, but then you wouldn't have had the rep to ask from a deleted one anyway if the requirement was there.

@trichoplax -1 for HelkaHomba, would upvote if Calvin's Hobbies
