@RydwolfPrograms I know, right? Modern languages restrict our freedom so much. If I want a velociraptor, I'll damn well summon one and no one can stop me
@RydwolfPrograms In all seriousness, I think the goto approach I use to generate the random number in this answer is more understandable than the equivalent in a language without gotos. They are easily abused, tho.
@AviFS I mean, I can see why it might be a good idea. Potentially running a one-off chat event to encourage more nominations could be useful, but at this late in the nomination stage, I think it's a bit late
No, I don't think so. In pseudocode it's: Generate a random number Check each previously generated number to see if it's a duplicate If it is, go back and generate a new random number and try again Otherwise, go on to the next statement
@ATaco Does Unicode have a combining character to give you overbars? If so, it can look even more like the normal square root thing without using parentheses
Btw, I know you're joking, but if you're interested in making a language like this, you might want to check out JetBrains MPS. It lets you make projectional editors
val exponentation = addVect(
Dyad,
"*",
"Exponentation | Remove Nth Letter | Trim",
List("exp", "**", "pow", "exponent", "remove-letter", "str-trim"),
"a: num, b: num -> a ^ b",
"a: str, b: num -> a with the bth letter removed",
"a: num, b: str -> b with the ath letter removed",
"a: str, b: str -> trim b from both sides of a"
)
using library
using something in anotherlib
library:doStuff()
something()
although i am very tempted to add a from keyword just to replace that in
(cc @user)
surprisingly, even though i only compiled it for the first time since making those changes today, i only had 2 errors during runtime, and no logic errors
