Aside from the built-ins I need for Catalan Numbers, basic arithmetic operations and primality checking (so it is a valid programming language), what other built-ins should I implement real quick for the first release of pl?
> There’s a great scene in Reality Bites where Ethan Hawke uses this quote for his answering machine, as an ironic statement on the existential darkness of his soul. However, the actual line from Shakespeare’s Richard III goes: “Now is the winter of our discontent made glorious summer by this son of York.” It doesn’t refer to darkness at all but is meant to indicate that something good has happened.
@El'endiaStarman For my auto-vectorizing operators in Jelly, having a character or a string of length 1 should be fundamentally different. I don't know how to handle that in Python...
In non-esoteric languages, they're generally distinct in systems languages (C, Rust, Java, etc.) and non-distinct in scripting languages (Ruby, Python, Perl, etc.)
Mini-challenge: Given an integer n>0, modulo the integers from 0 to n-1 by 3, index that into ["a","bc","def"], and concatenate. So 5 gives "abcdefabc".
The Unicode character you used is the one for hamburger, not cheeseburger. We must petition the Unicode committee to include more fast food-related glyphs. Where are nuggets? Why is there no "with bacon" combining glyph? How on Earth can a Double Whopper and a Big Mac be conflated to the same code point, despite the enormous difference in significance? It's outrageous. — Federico PoloniMay 19 at 17:33
my favourite things about that question: - how excited the question is, even using three of the character in question - how the accepted answer is written by the same user who asked, indicting that they just really wanted to share their cheeseburger prompt with the world - how the accepted answer (again, written by the same person who wrote the question) begins with "great choice!"
Write an interpreter for 2B
I like David Catt's esoteric language 2B, having memory stored in a tape where each cell is a seperate tape of bytes (the 'subtape'). Write an interpreter for it!

@AlexA. That's a meme I never understood. I thought memes were created almost exclusively by teenagers, and I don't know how teenagers have even heard of Norris. I think he was before my time.

I'm planning to post this as a pair of challenges to do both directions of the conversion. I think both are interesting tasks, but I squeezing them into a single challenge doesn't seem to make much sense.
The intro is the same for both parts:

In his xkcd about the ISO 8601 standard date format Randall snuck in a rather curious alternative notation:
The large numbers are all the digits that appear in the current date in their usual order, and the small numbers are 1-based indices of the occurrences of that digit. So the above exampl...

This time I've changed it to have a code-golf requirement - what do you think?
Hexagony, 271 bytes
I present to you, the first 3% of a Hexagony self-interpreter...

Writing that probably took me longer than actually writing the code... which might show that Hexagony isn't quite as unusable as it seems after all. :D
I want my shell prompt to look like a cheeseburger! 🍔🍔🍔
It would be nice if it also displayed: username, hostname, and current directory.
