> keywords still written in English bruh.wavIs this Godot?
Yes
Thank you :)
this doesn’t hold a candle to APL:
sudoku←{⎕io←0 ⍝ Whitney/Last p←{(↑⍵)∘{(⍺∨.=⍵)/⍳n×n}¨,⍵},(n*÷2){⍵,⍺⊥⌊⍵÷⍺}¨⍳n n←⍴⍵ m←{(⊂⍵)⌈(⊂⍺=⍳⍴⍵)×(1+⍳n)~⍵[⍺⊃p]} (⍴⍵)∘⍴¨⊃{⊃,/⍺ m¨⍵}/{(⍸⍵=0),⊂⊂⍵},⍵ }The difference is that the above Sumerian could be dealt with using find and replace in a dire situation, while APL is a write-only language.
I dunno, there’s probably less than ten people who can actually speak Sumerian, and there’s at least a dozen people who can read APL.
Someone is trying to re-create the virus from Snow Crash
The opening lines were prophetic:
"… When it gets down to it–we’re talking trade balances here–once we’ve brain-drained all our technology into other countries, once things have evened out, they’re making cars in Bolivia and microwaves in Tadzhikistan and selling them here–once our edge in natural resources has been made irrelevant by giant Hong Kong ships and dirigibles that can ship North Dakota all the way to New Zealand for a nickel–once the Invisible Hand has taken all those historical inequities and smeared them out into a broad global layer of what a Pakistani bricklayer would consider to be prosperity–y’know what? There’s only four things we do better than anyone else:
- music
- movies
- microcode (software)
- high-speed pizza delivery
Snow Crash was my exact first thought
Thanks, I hate it.
I interviewed someone once who had sublime set up to use emojis in place of keywords. The only one that made me actually chuckle more than groan was using the 💩 emoji for catch.
You need to use a language with powerful macros (like LISP) so you can avoid English entirely.
This is glorious. I so need to try something silly like that at work…
I think that’s how you summon actual demons
I know one extremely burnt out dude who would absolutely try it
Bob Howard from the Laundry will be with you shortly.
what language is that
it looks like an unholy fusion of Python and Rust
GDScript
Which one of you is gonna trying translating this?
One big problem is font size. Smaller features of many scripts like CJK are barely visible, and this example shows the same problem.
Python 3.12.6. >>> 𒁎=3 >>> 𒁎**𒁎 27#include <iostream> int main() { int 𒇤 = 2; std::cout << (𒇤 + 𒇤) << std::endl; return 0; }$ ./a.out 4touch 𒇤.java nvim 𒇤.javapublic class 𒇤 { public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println("LMAO"); } }Okok… Does this make sense? And if so, how long did it take you to write this?
