What is a good way to learn Jelly? I've read the tutorial and am very confused. Is there maybe a list of challenges that are simple to solve in Jelly, or perhaps categorized by what features of Jelly one must know?
Seriously exposes Python's eval, which is not ideal. In general, the large "standard library" is not something I'm keen on here. I couldn't find anything that would let me mutate a list.
I've considered Shakespeare Programming Language, random access requires shuffling data between stacks. Mornington Crescent is only turing complete because of bignums and string munching. Chef allows you to access elements deep into its stacks, but the ROLL requires a large memcpy, and restoring the state is also not trivial, so one would probably end up simply copying entire stacks.
I'm looking for an esoteric programming language I could write a compiler for. I'd want the language to be able to randomly access and mutate an array-like data structure in O(log n) or better, preferably without any significant trickery in the implementation. I'd guess that there are many people more knowledgeable in esoteric languages than me in here, so - any ideas on the top of your mind?
So, I'm trying to do the Nth root exercise, and I managed to do it in 4 bytes. Am I simply missing some atom, or do I need to use the chaining rules better?
