@MartinEnder small feature request: could \ still add a newline even if it's passed a string option? Currently it is no different from >

double the backticks

Thanks, I was having trouble with that :D

My first thought was that that's going to be a pain to add to the current implementation, but it's actually quite a trivial change.

I can definitely do that, but I don't really want to make a new release just for this. Maybe I'll add a few more substitution features when I'm done with my current esolang and package it up with that.

also thanks for the golf on the Retina answer, I completely forgot that output takes a string option

Great :) how's your esolang coming out?

quite well... the basic ideas have been brewing for ages (over two years in fact), but I finally made some progress on the design over the past month and started work on an interpreter. I got quite far this weekend and I think all that's missing is deciding on and implementing all the built-ins (which sounds like a lot of work, but the hard part was getting the overall language semantics down)

it's definitely my most ambitious esolang yet in terms of design. (Alice has more built-ins, but that's not a great measure for language complexity.)

oh and I'm not counting Retina, because it's kinda straddling the boundary between esolang and practical language at this point.

Wow, sounds like an impressing work ^^" I'm eager to try that!

Do you have a Gitter account? I've been discussing parts of the language with him there, but you also seem to have a decent amount of experience with functional languages, so if your interested I'd like your input as well (but I don't want to discuss the language details in public yet).

Not yet, but maybe I could make one, I'd be glad to help
