Can anybody give me any ideas for an esoteric programming language?

Oh okay

github.com/MilkyWay90/CompressedPython

Can you add this to TIO if you would like it to be on TIO?

@Pavel -O1: we can skip past repeated subtractions by 1 until the smallest counter becomes zero; -O2: we can skip past repeated zeroings of a single counter until some other counter becomes smaller; -O3: we can skip past any repeated pattern of zeroings of a set of counters if they all have the same value afterwards, until some counter becomes smaller at some point in the loop

you can try running ratiofall with -d to see the optimisations in action;

@ais523 So you actually need to specify flags?

I don't think TIO has those enabled

-O3 is the default

Yeah, no it doesn't.

@Dennis Can we get interpreter flags for The Waterfall Model?

we have them

they go in the "arguments" section, though

as the language doesn't take input there's no distinction

here, see: Try it online!

that's hello world in debug mode

(and you can see it's -O3 both by the optimisations being applied, and by the fact it doesn't time out)

"tight loop" is the -O2 optimisation, "complex loop" is the -O3 optimisation; the -O1 optimisation is so common that it isn't pointed out (it happens every line)

@Pavel the <year> placeholder in COPYING is actually part of the license

that's a bit of advertising "how to use this license" that I can't remove because it's no-derivatives

@MilkyWay90 Sorry, but that's a door I don't want to open.

@ais523 Thanks!

I'm probably going to try to golf the hello world at some point, I've had a few ideas

but just getting that one working was hard enough even though it's fairly "readable" as The Waterfall Model goes

@Dennis Is TIO down?

@Oliver Seems to be working here.

isitdownrightnow.com/tio.run.html Says it is down for everyone.

It also says more than a week.

Strange. But really, I can't get on...

Not debating that, but it if works for me, it's not the server.

Okay, that's good.

Maybe a DNS issue? I just updated some records to renew the SSL certificate.

It seems to be working for others in TNB, so it seems to be only me. Sorry for the worry.

@Oliver downforeveryoneorjustme.com/tio.run

@Pavel It's just you. tio.run is up.

...yes, exactly

I can get on too

Let's see if I can change that by updating the certs. /s

Three more months of SSL.

Wildcards certificates are nice, but updating them manually, not so much...

Reboot didn't help sighs

It seems to be blocked on my company network all of a sudden. Time to yell at someone!
