Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ
Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ
@quartata The program is first parsed. There are things called "nodes" or "couplings" that denote the border of a "chain" or "link"; each chain is evaluated as a 1D, non-wrapping stack-based program. Each node can tell the program to carry on to the next program, or do stuff in a certain way.

Similar, but different in that Y is focused on the transitions between links. pl is (probably) focusing on other things.

> Vintage typewriter eraser from Eberhard Faber, model Van Dyke. This model has the red eraser with green brush whiskers, one of the more colorful versions of the typewriter eraser. I believe these erasers were manufactured sometime between 1950-1960s. The eraser was used to eliminate mistakes while using a typewriter and the brush to whisk away any eraser crumbs left on the page.

@Quill initially, try translating your programs from Python into Pyth. It won't win you any challenges, but you'll learn it

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ Vitsy can get pretty complicated, to be fair.
@orlp I use this word frequently.

@VoteToClose True, but you can write a lot of simple stuff in it. It's probably one of my top three "playfield" languages because of it's power, capacity, and simplicity

><>, Minkolang, and Vitsy are top 3. ><> because it was first, Vitsy because of ^^^^, and Minkolang because it's practically a 3D language.

@orlp Small nitpick on your answer: Technically get_area51_estimate is incorrect when returning the number of answers per question, since the number Area 51 reports is over the lifetime of the site, not just the past two weeks like it does with questions/day.
