Source Code Inflation
Your task is to write a program which, when run, outputs a longer program. This longer program should in turn output a longer program, and this should continue indefinitely.
For example, the Pushy program:
95&34_"
Outputs the following:
95 95 34
__"
Which in turn out...
The link to the sandbox in the info box is nice, but I was wondering if it might be better to link to change the target of the link from

Join two file paths
A file path consists of letters a-z separated by slashes /. Your task is to join two paths as follows:
If the second path doesn't start with /, concatenate them with exactly one / in between.
If the second path starts with /, just output it.
For example,
/User/Desktop ...
Lost is a 2-Dimensional programming language where the instruction pointer starts at a random location, moving in a random direction. A description of the language can be found at the bottom of the post for completeness' sake and a tutorial for the language can be found in the above link.

For any integer a and any positive odd integer n the Jacobi symbol is defined as follows:
$$
\left(\frac{a}{n}\right) =
\left(\frac{a}{p_1}\right)^{\alpha_1}
\left(\frac{a}{p_2}\right)^{\alpha_2}
\cdots
\left(\frac{a}{p_k}\right)^{\alpha_k}
$$
where
$$n = p_1^{\alpha_1}p_2^{\alpha_2}\cdots{p_k^{...
Golfeek is the working name of an esolang I'm occasionally working on. One distinctive feature of this language is that each statement is encoded as a sequence of bits rather than a sequence of bytes.
Instead of just showing a long binary sequence, the 'gutter' of the source editor contains a re...

The ability to repeat chunks of code within a program is an important part of any programming language. Also just as important is the ability to make decisions based on different values.

Make a matrix singular
Let
$$M =
\begin{bmatrix}
a & b \\
c & d
\end{bmatrix}
$$
We can define a function \$\text{sing}(M)\$ as
$$
\text{sing}(M) = x
$$
where \$x\$ is the real number such that
$$
\begin{vmatrix}
a+x & b+x \\
c+x & d+c
\end{vmatrix} = 0
$$
Your task is to take a \$2\text...
