so I'm thinking of dropping the .j (relative jump to address) and .J (absolute) commands because they're a pain to compile (even with fancy switch statements)

they could be replaced with .*n* where n is a digit

basically .# but jumping over multiple cells

.0 and .1 would be useless then (not that that's a real problem)

@Wezl still, it would be nice if there was some equivalent to a switch statement

or maybe there is

.>~:03?=?#?v do stuff knowing it's 3
.v        .<
.>~:05?=?#?v here it's 5
.v        .<
.> otherwise

it's still inconvenient though

@user pinging you because I'm annoying

I disabled my "Block Code Golf" userscript for this?!

Leave me alone until 3:00 please

ok

Thanks

(I need to make sure I don't get distracted by golf during school hours :P)

@Wezl Pining you because I'm also annoying

sorry you can't pin because you're not RO

I wasn't pinning you, I was pining you. I henceforth define the verb "pining" to mean "pinging"

(slpt: Never accept you made a mistake, keep going with it until you destroy your life)

I'm confused about functions. Why put a space before them if it misaligns the function name?

Will multiple letters be allowed as function names? (and how could we call them if they are?)

it's a space followed by an @ so the name will be aligned to the second cell

(a two-letter function name)

Oh, that makes sense

 @ad
++

We'll need good type inference too

inferring the type of functions?

The syntax for comments looks good, although Befunge's way of doing it is kinda cool

we'll allow those too

Cool

it's just a fallback that's probably unnecessary

cries inside because there's more stuff to implement

I mean, it's unlikely most people will want to write vertically :P

except those could be "doc comments" if you wanted to make a fungeoid program well documented for some reason

stops crying because Wezl will take over and sort out my mess once I make it halfway understandable

you have more experience with racket than I do

@Wezl whlplash is almost starting to look like a practical language :P

@Wezl ???

This is literally my first time doing lisp

believes you

I could probably write whlplash in whlplash without knowing the specification

we still need to get arrays sorted out

@Wezl I'd star this but I can't find the star icon because of frickin' Dark Reader :P

@Wezl I was thinking heterogenous lists/k-tuples instead

Actually, both are necessary

k-tuples?

Whatever they're called, I saw that term in an sml tutorial :P

Product types

ok

And the stack would itself be such a heterogenous linked list, to make the compiler a bit easier to implement

gtg now I'm hungry again

'll try to work on the compiler more tomorrow

@user oh so linked lists? (go ahead and eat your food)

(or whatever it is you're eating)

(or perhaps you satisfy you hunger in different ways)

Yeah

@Wezl (thanks for understanding btw)
