wait what is backtick do exactly
like run shell command
what does that mean
ill probably have to take out W and E, but im not sure if backtick should be including as well
wait is looping possible with BLOCK?
kinda like recursion?
bro theres also USE
not sure what it does but i gotta take that out too right
also for fewest disinct chars for turing completeness im thinking EA1+, not sure if it can be shorter than that

@AidenChow Exactly that, runs a shell command
So bash, zsh, whatever
 
Aiden Chow
Aiden Chow
ye ok so i take that out
 
Steffan
Steffan
Bash, zsh, etc r turing complete
Yeah you could use BLOCK for inf loop
Or non-inf loop
So yeet that
 
Aiden Chow
Aiden Chow
ok and what about USE??
 
Steffan
Steffan
What's USE
Jus a sec
 
Aiden Chow
Aiden Chow
@Steffan lol idk its in the specs
 
Steffan
Steffan
1:57 AM
Didn't see that
 
Aiden Chow
Aiden Chow
and also X now that i think about it
 
Steffan
Steffan
You would need another file for it
 
Aiden Chow
Aiden Chow
hmm ok
 
Steffan
Steffan
However, USE isn't actually in the default spec, it's an "extension"
So implementations can implement it if they want
@AidenChow Why get rid of +? You can just subtract the unary negation
Plus, it's technically possible to do string math
 
Aiden Chow
Aiden Chow
@Steffan uhhh thats for the other challenge
 
Steffan
Steffan
1:59 AM
Oh
You need space too, I think
Cause +1 1
 
Aiden Chow
Aiden Chow
@Steffan dont need it, just do A+...1A1
 
Steffan
Steffan
?
What's the ...
What you gonna put there
 
Aiden Chow
Aiden Chow
ok lemme find the answer where Adam suggested that

A: Hello ASCII World!

Steffan
Oh
I forgot about coercion
 
Aiden Chow
Aiden Chow
lol me too
ok wait what if we just take out E=, cant do much without variables right
 
Steffan
Steffan
2:03 AM
Later imma covfefe with Knight
@AidenChow Yeah E= is probably good
 
Aiden Chow
Aiden Chow
@Steffan ???

Q: Covfefify a string

Destructible LemonIn this challenge, you must take a string matching the regex ^[a-zA-Z]+$ or whatever is reasonable (you don't have to consider uppercase or lowercase letters if you want) (you may assume the string is long enough, and has the right structure for all the operations), and output another string, pro...

code-golf string
It's gonna be fat program
 
Aiden Chow
Aiden Chow
lol ok good luck with that
wait E= and backtick
that should be good
 
Steffan
Steffan
Yeah
Wait what about BLOCK
Idk
Like can you do away with variables if you have BLOCK
 
Aiden Chow
Aiden Chow
wait how would that work tho
 
Steffan
Steffan
2:06 AM
Idk
Need a better brain
 
Aiden Chow
Aiden Chow
dont u need to store BLOCK in a variable for it to be useful
i mean ig u can do CALL BLOCK (code)
 
Steffan
Steffan
Oh right true
Yeah but C B is a no-op
u need var to do recurse
