@Dennis I believe Crayon is ready for you to set up on TIO when you get a chance.

@ETHproductions OK, I'll add it asap.

@Mego Done.

@ETHproductions tio.run/nexus/crayon#@6/kkZqTk6@jEJ5flJOiqFT4/z8A

I had to install it from GitHub. /usr/bin/crayon, the npm version, uses a relative path and tries to access /usr/bin/lib/crayon.js, which doesn't exist.

@ETHproductions crayon f <file> <inputs> does this form take STDIN input?

I don't know if you changed anything, but my browser doesn't freeze anymore on large outputs.

Which is nice.

That wasn't me. Maybe your browser got updated.

I'm not sure why 128K of text would freeze it anyway...

@Dennis Perl doesn't seem to work properly with arguments. tio.run/nexus/bash#@1@QWpSjoJuqoFRQlJlXouDgGOQepqSQlp@vkJRY9P//… works as expected but tio.run/nexus/perl#@19QlJlXouDgGOQe9v//f7f8/P9OiUUA does something odd.

Eh, the Perl wrapper puts the arguments before the filename. I'll fix that when I implement command line options, but I'll have to figure out a way to do that without breaking old links.

It's probably not a terrible issue, considering any links affected by this currently lead to an error.

Not quite. This would stop working. tio.run/nexus/perl#@19QlJlX8v9/Wn7@f908AA

You could have two wrappers, perl and perl-5. Remove the original from the language list but keep it accessible for those old permalinks, but make new ones using perl-5. It would also be more consistent with the way the other languages with multiple versions are called; both versions of Python, Java, and Julia have a number in the title.

@Dennis could you pull Pyke please?

@Dennis Hmm, is it /crayon/lib/crayon.js then?

@AndrewSavinykh No, just a file containing the code and command-line argument inputs

@Dennis Awesome, thanks! Input and args are working as intended as well :-)

I'm not sure how to fix the install-from-npm problem. What would you suggest?

@muddyfish Done.

@Pavel That's freakishly similar to what I had in mind.

@Dennis thanks!

@ETHproductions Looks like you fixed that part. It now creates a symlink, so relative paths work. There's another problem though: the index.js file you create has Windows-style line endings. The CR isn't special to the program loader, so it will complains that it cannot find node\r and abort.

@Dennis Language request: Röda

@Dennis That's evil. What if I want to use an old Perl version instead?

@EriktheOutgolfer It's the same version of Perl, but a bug with Arguments is fixed.

Oh right.

@Dennis Hmm, I'll see if I can fix that.

I don't know if there is any way to fix that from a Windows computer...

I should switch to Linux :P

@ETHproductions Huh? Just use a sane editor? Editing files with unix linebreaks on Windows isn't rocket science :P

@mınxomaτ Well, I'm currently using Brackets, and I downloaded an extension to do this... but the GitHub Desktop client broke when I tried to commit it

Maybe I should try with Git Bash

There's a couple problems here, namely "Brackets" and "Github Desktop"

I thought someone would say that -_-

I'm really not much of a hardcore dev

git add, git commit and git push aren't that hard to remember. And by sane editor I mean either something Scintilla based, Sublime or at least VSC / Atom.

@mınxomaτ Yeah, I know about the Git commands now, but I had downloaded the Windows client when I was new to all this and haven't switched away from it yet

I've never heard of Scintilla though, I'll have to look that up

It's an engine powering such editors as SciTE, Notepad++ or Geanie.

Very fast - like Sublime.

Ah. I do have Notepad++

Personally, I like Sublime.

Sublime looks great, I think I'll try it out

Although I've been wanting to try Atom, entirely because;

LOL, that's awesome

Wait, Sublime isn't free?

It's not free. But you also don't have to pay to use it.

Think WinRAR

Ah

It occasionally asks you nicely to purchase a license sometimes when you save or use it to run a program. You never have to, but you might eventually feel bad enough to support them.

I did buy one.
