This is my Brain-flak Magnum Opus:

Brain-Flak, 1101 bytes {({}<>)(<>())(<>{}<>)(({}))((((()()()()()){}){}){})({}[{}]<(())>){((<{}{}>))}{}{{ }{}(<{}>)((()))(()<>)(<><{}>)}{}(({}))((((()()()()()){}){}){}())({}[{}]<(())>){(( <{}{}>))}{}{{}{}(<{}>)((()))(()<>)({}[{}](<()>)){{}{}(<(())>)}{}{<>{{}}<>{{}}((<( )>))}{}(<><{}>)}{}(({}))(((...

@DJMcMayhem Do you have an easy way to filter out non-brackets? If so, this could help you golf that down a lot (it's 126 bytes, but assumes everything is a bracket)

Hmmm... Is there a was to send really long links?

Here it is without an explanation: tio.run/nexus/…

@DJMcMayhem Here's a quick golf I threw together

Here's a golf of that golf

DJMcMayhem

@WheatWizard I appreciate it, but since that doesn't have comments I don't understand how it works so I won't be able to golf it anymore. And I'd like to do some golfing on my own, this is a rough first draft

Also, I tried running your metagolfer on my original, and it added two bytes, lol

Wheat Wizard

@DJMcMayhem Ok I don't know how it works either I just did a bunch of small golfs on your solution

@DJMcMayhem Yeah the metagolfer needs some work

DJMcMayhem

Have you seen my commented version?

Thanks!

DJMcMayhem

Np.

Wheat Wizard

Oh man this is so much clearer

DJMcMayhem

ikr?

Wheat Wizard

The big thing you can do to reduce bytes overall is the pushpop reduce

DJMcMayhem

It's extremely inefficient though, the algorithm is fully repeated for each bracket

Wheat Wizard

#Push 123
((((((()()()()()){}){}){}())){}{})

#Check if they equal
({}[{}]<(())>){((<{}{}>))}{}

Can be reduced into

((((((()()()()()){}){}){}())){}{}[{}]<(())>){((<{}{}>))}{}

DJMcMayhem

Oh, I see. Nice

That should save 16 bytes

@WheatWizard BTW, I noticed yesterday that it's possible to setup a chatroom so that certain GitHub activity is automatically posted into the room. Would you like me to add brain-flak commits to this room?

I can also set it up for all activity (PRs, issues, comments, merges, commits, etc.) but I'm not sure exactly how (or if that's wise)

Wheat Wizard

I think its a good idea neither github or this chat are terribly active so it shouldn't hurt anyone

DJMcMayhem

OK. All activity or commits?

Wheat Wizard

@DJMcMayhem I think all activity would be fine

we can change it if it becomes a problem

DJMcMayhem

Actually, I can't figure out how to. I could do each one individually
