@lyxal We should petition the company to buy programmingpuzzlesandcodegolf.com

@lyxal No, I can't say I've ever rickrolled 2 group members in Arkansas. I've never even been to Arkansas. :P

@NewPosts Huh. This looks like it's asking for help creating test cases for a programming competition. Is that on topic?

Well, at least one bug it introduced got fixed quickly...

or something ;)

​

We'll see if it gets patched in response to feedback

ayup

As code golfers, we really ought to be writing &c instead. :P

The thing that bugs me is when English speakers typo etc. as ect.

Looks like it basically is the Latin phrase, just spelled differently.

@DLosc Ah, shoot, I forgot about ≠. Definitely need that. Maybe it can replace ∃ and something else can replace ∀.

This recent BQN answer used a different approach because of parsing constraints: ⊣`⊸≡

@att That's how I would do it in BQN (which makes a distinction between scalars and single-value arrays)

@Themoonisacheese I made the mistake of stopping to read the section on Antarctic exploration, which was significantly less wholesome =P

If it were used for a golflang, I might want to have a separate Unicode character type as well.

@Neil Yeah, that would be the idea.

@DLosc Tweaking the order to abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzñ.,!?0123456789'"&/()[]+-×÷<>=%↑↓@#$ (with related changes to the second row) so that the codepoints of the digits start at a multiple of 16 and paired characters like ()[]<> are always an even codepoint plus the following odd codepoint. Good for bit twiddling, in case that were ever to become relevant (and if not, it's for the principle of the thing).

and ∀∃ don't monospace in this font unfortunately :P

where ␊ represents newline

 abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzñ0123456789.,!?'"&/()[]+-×÷=<>%←↑@#$□
␊ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZÑΔΣ½¾¼αελπω:;¡¿`^|\«»{}±_*~≡≤≥¬→↓∀∃£¶

@DLosc Six-bit character set with escape code (represented as □) that allows for 63 6-bit characters (top row) and 64 12-bit characters (bottom row):

Context (read carefully)

Out-of-context comment of the day:

Shout-out to Brachylog's ∈ and ∋

From within. I guess it could be Vim + grep + sort... bit clunky

What's the best way to describe an answer that's mostly Vim but also uses grep and sort? I was going to say "Vim + coreutils" but it appears that grep is not in coreutils.

@emanresuA Ah, okay

I don't see (not that I put much effort into trying to decipher the code, lol). What are "variables"?

These days I usually just start by going to chat.stackexchange.com directly.

Yeah, I noticed recently on another site that clicking on Chat (from the top bar menu) dropped me straight into the site's main chatroom instead of taking me to the list of site chatrooms. Not my preferred behavior.

Esolang name idea: &i"

I left out backslash because I think it mostly causes confusion, but one hesitation is that it is useful in ASCII art.

Another thought I had was reserving one code point as an escape character, which would allow for uppercase letters and a bunch more symbols as two-code-point sequences.

Not sure about including '%#&` or all four arrows; not sure about excluding []@~|¶ΔΣ

My tentative picks are letters, numbers, space & newline, and .,!?:;'"&/()+-×÷=<>%←↑→↓#$

@UnrelatedString Interesting choices! Why →¿λε in particular?

Okay, cool. I thought it was right, I just was going from memory.

Could just be someone who thinks tag wikis shouldn't be empty as a matter of principle.

Doesn't require the backticks

0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33,34,35,36,37,38,39,40,41,42,43,44,45,46,47,48,49,50,51,52,53,54,55,56,57,58,59,60,61,62,63,64,65,66,67,68,69,70,71,72,73,74,75,76,77,78,79,80,81,82,83,84,85,86,87,88,89,90,91,92,93,94,95,96,97,98,99

There we go

This is a really long post containing code-formatted text. Does it do the word wrapping, or no? It's possible that it still does if there are spaces; the post I saw that broke word wrapping does not contain spaces.

@lyxal Funnily enough, the language I designed in college was the least esoteric one I've ever made! =P

I do hope the authors fix their typos, though, or else someone on Esolangs.org will have to invent a language called Malbodge. :D

@MichaelHomer Nice to see some recognition for esolangs. For my own interest in the subject, I often think of the quote from Apollo 13: "If they could get a washing machine to fly, my Jimmy could land it." Taking something that doesn't even look like a programming language and making it do computation is a fun puzzle.
