^ 11 bytes.

I really don't think I can do any better than 13 bytes for Minkolang.

Should also mention the braces were unnecessary, so ri"yay""nay"? works too

I want to create a programming language that randomly generates commands

El'endia Starman

Sounds like that exists already.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

I mean, each command contains a random N-byte code snippet

El'endia Starman

How would you do ANYTHING on purpose?

(Also, Java2K is a language where commands may or may not work correctly. Randomly.)

So, each command sequence would have an "ID". Each ID would have a constant (but randomly generated) function

Anyone here good with Maven poms?

Vɪʜᴀɴ

@phase I read that wrong :|

phase

@Vɪʜᴀɴ Maven is pretty dirty

Vɪʜᴀɴ

I'm trying to compile C code for a Java http server

and link them together with Maven, but it is annoyingly difficult

@Sp3000 :(

Ah well. I didn't really golf my Rotor solution that well. That same approach works in Rotor so

Hey guys

quartata

I see I missed some more Perl hate.

Lemme show why Perl is the greatest language ever created:

print "2"+"2"

Outputs 4.

Perl is so good it can read your mind.

Seriously.

phase

wow

quartata

@phase Mm-hmm.

Sp3000

Sounds like JavaScript

11:51 PM

I'm going to download Perl right now just so I can add two strings together as numbers.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

> "2" + "2"
"22"

^ JavaScript

quartata

@phase The best part is you don't have to download it! It comes with all computers ever created except Windows computers which we don't like to talk about here

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ See? Not even JS can do this.

No other class is gonna do that.

phase

I feel like "2"+"2"="4" is more of a bug than a feature.

quartata

@phase Really

phase

What if I actually wanted to concatenate the strings?

quartata

11:53 PM

Well lemme just change one byte

print "2"."2"

Done.

phase

ew no why

it's like Lua but not named Lua

quartata

print "2"x"4"

2222

Gets better and better.

phase

ok that's neato

quartata

eval

Run with -n

Mini Perl REPL

I wonder if anyone has done a language showcase for Perl yet here.

mınxomaτ

REPL is Perl reversed and shifted left once.

Q: Anti-Golfing on the Moon

This is a different kind of challenge, this is anti-golf! Anti-golf is where you attempt to use the most possible characters to carry out a task. The rules are as follows: No unhelpful code such as a = a; which achieves nothing Variable names are limited to 10 characters Whitespace is not coun...
