My laptop was overheating, so I pulled a gallon ziploc bag of ice out of the freezer and set my laptop on top of it. The CPU temperature has since dropped by about 16 degrees Celsius, so I reckon it worked

SCIENCE!

@ATaco Kotlin

Rust coming in second

ATaco

I'm not surprised :P

Seggan

why not

Bbrk24

I forgot to say, even though I do like JS for quick testing, for larger projects I prefer(ed) Swift

ATaco

A good chunk of your discussion is about Kotlin

Bbrk24

You even chose Kotlin for CGR

Kotlin go brrrr

The more I use C the more I enjoy it, Although C is a slippery scope to C++...

@lyxal in Charcoal they're ceiling and floor for some reason, but I'm wondering whether I should move them to uppercase and lowercase instead

Q: I challenge you to write a decorator which flattens inputs, accepts strings, and rounds floats to integers within machine epsilon

There is an ancient exercise which used to be given to students to write a recursive function named pow which calculates things such as 3.433 raised to the 8th power. I challenge you to write an implementation of pow which can accept input from many different data-types. At its core, pow sometime...

I know CoffeeScript isn't that popular anymore, but it removes so much punctuation that translating my JS to CoffeeScript with idiomatic spacing is about the same size as running it through a minifier

I'm pretty sure it's a Rite of Passage here to have your first challenge be closed.

@Bbrk24 But you can't serve coffeescript files and expect it to run on browsers, that's the difference

lyxal

@ATaco dang, guess I was never properly inducted into the code golf community then :p

Bbrk24

@Bubbler I'm already having to compile C++ -> wasm and Sass -> CSS, so that isn't really a concern for me. I was moreso talking about ease of development, and CoffeeScript seems to address the two problems I was having (scope management and punctuation soup)

@ATaco damn, i dont think i ever had a closed challenge before, even my first one

tho my first challenge did have a load of comments saying how to improve my challenge lol

and it only got one answer lol

wait a fucking minute... was the tio link for that answer wrong the entire time??? i was just revisiting my first challenge and the one answer on it and then click the tio link... the code dont even match in the link

lemme put a comment in the guys answer real quick, how tf i didnt notice this before

what the hell is that example of a decorator
why would it be some convoluted class instead of a bare function unless it needs to be stateful

why is there a __new__ instead of an __init__, why is the goddamn class name lowercase, where is there a callable that necessitates kallable, how the hell does the __getattr__ even not error (is instance supposed to be self?????)

like the challenge wasn't bad enough that code needs to be burned with fire

also just noticed

# many tuples nested
result = pow(((((5.21, 8)))))

@UnrelatedString lmaooooo

@UnrelatedString well they have instance = super().__new__(cls) but i thought super() is supposed to refer to the parent class, yet class decorate isnt inheriting anything??

Unrelated String

i think there is an implicit superclass of some sort but yeah that still shouldn't, like, do anything

though i have also literally never written or seen a custom __new__ before :P

Aiden Chow

yea lmfao why use __new__ when theres __init__
