@zyabin101 AFAIK Peanut hasn't been in this room so that won't ping him/her

Sherlock9

I am bookmarking this link for later

zyabin101

@Downgoat But I need to interview him on the open-ended tag.

(Also, he should have probably done discourse on creating the tag on meta first.)

Downgoat

how many questions did (s)he tag it with?

zyabin101

One.

codegolf.stackexchange.com/revisions/44680/133

A minute later, the tag was removed.

Dennis

I could eleven a ping, but it doesn't seem appropriate for a on-time occurrence.

Q: Dyalog's International Problem Solving Competition (Phase I) – Code Golf Edition

Every year, Dyalog Ltd. holds a student competition. The challenge there is to write good APL code. However, this is a multiple-holes (common theme is manipulation of arrays of any type) code-golf version of the Phase I problems – open to any language. Enjoy! Objective Write ten complete progra...

Downgoat

@zyabin101 then i dont think its that big of a deal, just roll it back and it will get auto-deleted soon

Business Cat

Aren't unused tags automatically deleted every so often?

Downgoat

speaking of tags: does anyone have a cheddar question that can be asked on SO so there can be a cheddar tag :3

Business Cat

Only a few people could answer it though :3

Downgoat

maybe i should rename Cheddar to PythonScript to leech off of Python's popularity like JS did with Java....

Is Why on Earth did you choose Node? a valid question?

Downgoat

i think thatll get closed on SO but if you wanna ask it go ahead ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Sherlock9

@Dennis Node.js? What's wrong (in summary) with Node.js?

TùxCräftîñg

6:12 PM

node.js is great

just it's a bit too much asynchronous for a normal language >_>

Downgoat

@TùxCräftîñg neovim > vim. so my reflexive property neoscript > script

quartata

@Sherlock9 Node JS somehow manages to make JavaScript worse.

It's truly an achievement.

Downgoat

@TùxCräftîñg s/event-based/asynchronous/

TùxCräftîñg

@Downgoat so you like neoscript :D

Downgoat

async is good for doing parallel tasks but it's not easy for people coming from python, etc.

quartata

6:13 PM

They took the one best part about JS (its functional design) and made it tedious to work with by putting thousands upon thousands of callback junk

Downgoat

@TùxCräftîñg of course! :D

Dennis

@Sherlock9 Closed as too broad.

quartata

@Downgoat There's a difference between using async for complicated networking and being forced to use async to read a line from stdin

Sherlock9

Which is why I asked this in chat and not on SO :D

Downgoat

@quartata functional isn't bad :/ 500 nested functions is

TùxCräftîñg

6:14 PM

^^^

Downgoat

@quartata ok fair. i very much dislike that too

TùxCräftîñg

and adding a Sync suffix to literally everything is silly

Downgoat

oh hey look i found a thing:

wow good async support in ES7 :O

the dream of every nodejs dev is now reality

zyabin101

@TùxCräftîñg It's shameful unless the person imports a shameless plug just before he plugs.

Sherlock9

6:19 PM

@BusinessCat #shamelessplug

Downgoat

@TùxCräftîñg you should celebrate it be sharing that wonderful article i link with everyone you knowo

@zyabin101 ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Sherlock9

Plug being slang for "self-advertisement"

TùxCräftîñg

@Downgoat so... who?

zyabin101

How exactly, I don't know. But there are limits on shameless plugs...

Downgoat

@TùxCräftîñg your friends, family, etc.

TùxCräftîñg

6:20 PM

my family dont code and i have no friends ;_;

Downgoat

@Dennis Speed isn't really Python's strong point, is it :p

DJMcMayhem

@Optimizer shouldn't it technically be from shameless import plug?

Optimizer

it was not python

:/

TùxCräftîñg

so it was what?

Downgoat

6:23 PM

@Adnan still better than cheddar with 500ms startup tine

you all have such huge snake fetish

@Optimizer SyntaxError: not a chance

TùxCräftîñg

@Optimizer the correct form is import plug from "shameless"

Optimizer

oh variables dont work?

Downgoat

no thye do

Optimizer

I mean if shameless is a variable with value "shameless"

Business Cat

Downgoat

@BusinessCat aaahhhhh require

TùxCräftîñg

neoscript have include ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Downgoat

which is just a cross-env wrapper for require :/

neoscript can dodge bullets too

quartata

@TùxCräftîñg I don't understand your emote usage

TùxCräftîñg

@Optimizer :O

Downgoat

Are the updated cheddar docs clear?

TùxCräftîñg

@quartata me too i dont understand my emote usage

Optimizer

@Downgoat yes, its very clear that I don't want to be using Cheddar ever.

specially for golfing

or in production

or both.

Downgoat

;_; y u do dis llama

goats > llamas btw

Optimizer

6:29 PM

lol keep dreaming

TùxCräftîñg

so you can try neoscript

PhiNotPi

phis > goats

TùxCräftîñg

it's better for golfing

Downgoat

Cheddar does beat python & js & ruby though on almost eveyr challenge

DJMcMayhem

Llamas don't eat cans

Optimizer

6:29 PM

and it beats java too.

are you trying to make a point?

quartata

@Downgoat but not perl

TùxCräftîñg

neoscript beat cheddar

Business Cat

@Optimizer include("red_pill"):take()

Downgoat

@quartata usually equal length with perl

@TùxCräftîñg because neoscript is golf oriented

TùxCräftîñg

not really

Optimizer

6:31 PM

@Downgoat and Cheddar is goat oriented?

Downgoat

@Optimizer yes, and goat is oriented down, so by transitive property, cheddar is down

Optimizer

Is the cheddar made from your milk ?

Business Cat

Is it goat golfing or code goating?

Downgoat

@Optimizer no it is made from the goats working in the cheese factory

@BusinessCat good questionp

@TùxCräftîñg link pls

this is uncited

Optimizer

@quartata depends on challenge. on string base challnges cheddar does good. Not so much on array challenges

TùxCräftîñg

i annihilate cheddar

wat

quartata

@Downgoat Perl was literally made for string based challenges

TùxCräftîñg

@Downgoat it cant be golfed? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

What is all this hate on other peoples languages?

TùxCräftîñg

6:36 PM

@Downgoat principaly because neoscript syntax is terse and tokenizer is permissive

Downgoat

@T.Lukin because people hate goats and cheese ;_;

On par with vanilla. On average you'll get iron tools in two days.
