The Nineteenth Byte

actually if I do it right that might be a tagalong effect. but anyway I will stop writing about it in here until I either: finish it, or mega bork it so bad I can't help crying in chat

ok it looks as if my parser is done (except for the execution and newline expansion, better do those now)!

I called the parsing function lispify because it makes it lisp like

my interpreter uses recursion rather than the third stack because recursion is good and yes

@ATaco Even though half the letters are gone I can still read it you know

@ATaco 65248 not 975...

@PhiNotPi Can we help :P

PhiNotPi

@ASCII-only I might need some help from a python handler.

(python handler = someone who knows python)

ASCII-only

@PhiNotPi ok i know python

i mean my main language is JS but i wrote a language in python so i suppose that counts as python handling experience? :P

PhiNotPi

> wrote a language in python

TBH that sounds pretty qualified

Destructible Lemon

I need advice

ASCII-only

it's a golflang though so not complex python

Destructible Lemon

5:03 AM

if program_list[0] == self.command_index["<"]:

ASCII-only

@PhiNotPi ok then i might be able to help

Destructible Lemon

I was doing this because it parses it to numbers, but is this a loss if I just use a dictionary anyway?

the answer is probably yes

ASCII-only

@DestructibleLemon what

PhiNotPi

I'll keep people updated if I run into any actual issues. Right now I'm just planning how I'm gonna solve the problem itself.

Destructible Lemon

but unfortunately python does not have #define

@ASCII-only I mean I was trying to make it so it parses all the commands into numbers in lists, but then using those numbers might obfuscate

but then it ends up defeating the purpose if I use a dictionary anyway

I guess comments

ASCII-only

5:05 AM

@DestructibleLemon yes

Destructible Lemon

ok

ASCII-only

it's faster to lookup the command in a dictionary

Destructible Lemon

hmmm, I just realised, how does ≤≥ work when it is inside another pair of parens?

@DJMcMayhem can you help me with this language design question?

ASCII-only

@DestructibleLemon what kind of question is that (also what do they do)

Destructible Lemon

≤≥ is the halt command

initially I thought this would be annoying, but I think I can fix it if I tune up the parser

done!

CMC: given two positive integers a and b, where b>1, find the next integer from a which shares a divisor with b other than 1 and -1.

ATaco

So I realised there was a huge flaw in my session recovery logic, which essentially kept people logged in all devices as long as one device stayed logged in. So I had to re-write basically my entire session handling script.

ASCII-only

@LeakyNun example pls

Leaky Nun

10,6 -> 12; 9;6 -> 10

Destructible Lemon

how do you make a programming language consider flags?

ASCII-only

@DestructibleLemon consider?

Destructible Lemon

5:26 AM

like how brainflak uses -a and -A

ASCII-only

@DestructibleLemon well handle the flags separately?

Destructible Lemon

in fact, is the - needed?

@ASCII-only do I use these as arguments?

so how do I take arguments to my program like that?

ASCII-only

@LeakyNun JavaScript (ES6), 50 bytes: f=(a,b)=>(h=(a,b)=>b?h(b,a%b):a)(++a,b)>1?a:f(a,b)

had to implement euclid hcf <_<

Downgoat

@ASCII-only btw quetion: can we have multiple applied candidates for 1 root?

e.g.: (U extends T) param take T candidates are U & T

i don't think possible

but idk

not sure how to resolve

idk if I should 1D filter or filter the applied plane too

ASCII-only

what

Downgoat

5:38 AM

ono wat confuse. Like function is: func f(a: T)

f(a: myVar) and myVar's candidates for the type it could be are U and T

ATaco

Worse approach, but how I thought of solving it. a=>b=>{for(;;){a++;for(c=2;c<b;c++){if(a%c+b%c==0)return a}}} 61 bytes.

Destructible Lemon

@ASCII-only I don't know how to handle the flags!

Downgoat

@ATaco ಠ_ಠ you use block lambda ;_;

JS golf tip: never use block lambda

reccomend use recurse

ATaco

I use block lambda when it demands I do.

Downgoat

but if100% sure impossible (which is not possible that it could be impossible) you should do:

ATaco

5:40 AM

Well yeah, I'm not very good at JS.

ASCII-only

@DestructibleLemon what. use argparse

Downgoat

a=>b=>eval("for(;;){a++;for(c=2;c<b;c++){if(a%c+b%c==0)break;}a")

@ASCII-only oh btw can i have ur input on VSL app

Destructible Lemon

@ASCII-only how use

ASCII-only

@Downgoat ???

Downgoat

should it have config so you can change between modes (e.g. type check mode, ast printer mode)

ASCII-only

5:41 AM

@DestructibleLemon :| look at bottom of charcoal.py

@Downgoat yes

Downgoat

@ASCII-only this one: staging.vihan.org/VSL/app

Destructible Lemon

@ASCII-only thanx

Downgoat

@ASCII-only where should button be ^^

or should I add button

Destructible Lemon

@Downgoat ninja'd!

Downgoat

wat ;_; how y u do dis, we never post about same thing?

Destructible Lemon

5:42 AM

because your caret now points at my message

muhahahah

Downgoat

idk what you're taling about

Destructible Lemon

ATaco

The following commands are available:
  help - displays this dialog

Destructible Lemon

ok maybe that is too much error message @Downgoat

Downgoat

@DestructibleLemon not sure wat confuse you never declare d

ASCII-only

5:42 AM

@Downgoat :D work very well

Destructible Lemon

no I mean why is there so much error

ASCII-only

@Downgoat except bad tree

Destructible Lemon

like in python:

>>> d
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name 'd' is not defined

Downgoat

@DestructibleLemon transformation/deduction passes are incredibly complex so don't expect sane stack traces

Destructible Lemon

it is short and sweet in python

Downgoat

5:43 AM

wtf python only displays one line of stack trace O___o

Destructible Lemon

python is sane

Downgoat

no wonder python program look like carpet

Destructible Lemon

what

Downgoat

carpet = carp = crap

Destructible Lemon

it only has a small stack trace for simple things

Downgoat

5:44 AM

@ASCII-only :D made in react so we can also really easy expand and add new thing

Destructible Lemon

if it is a bunch of recursion layers deep it will be longer

ATaco

How do I do anything in VSL?

ASCII-only

@ATaco there is no compiler yet

Downgoat

@ATaco well STL is not included in REPL by default so make sure you run that:

ASCII-only

@Downgoat carpet python?

Downgoat

5:45 AM

2 days ago, by Downgoat

@primitive(Integer) class Int {}
@primitive(FloatingPoint) class Double {}
@primitive(String) class String {}

once you do that you should have those three root classes

you can then declare variable & function and watch magic type deduct to magic

ASCII-only

@Downgoat :( why tree look so bad pls

Downgoat

;_; halp not expert tree maker like u

i try very hard (like 7 minutes tops) :(

Destructible Lemon

@ASCII-only this is monstrous

ASCII-only

@DestructibleLemon what ono what i do wrong

Destructible Lemon

anyway thanx I guess

ASCII-only

5:47 AM

@Downgoat but is in node.js

Destructible Lemon

@ASCII-only it is just very big

and confusing from bigness
