#PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES

[foone]

Programming languages for furries:

* cobra

* cowsel

* dog

* foxpro

* fish

* gamemonkey script

* grasshopper

* lynx

* mouse

* neko

* pike

* python

* ratfor/ratfiv

* serpent

* swift

* squirrel

* unicorn

* wyvern

* zebra

Honorable mention:

* squeak

* Apache Pig Latin

* moo

* wolfram

Dishonorable mentions:

* viper (it's for some cryptocurrency bullshit)

Mentions:

* NewtonScript (technically contains the word "Newt")

* OCaml (it almost is named O-Camel but it's spelled wrong)

* AWK (it's pronounced the same as the Auk)

Required pedantry: python, my favorite language, is actually named after Monty Python, not the snake.

Look I don't hate C you can write good code in C if you try and I understand the reasons for its popularity but so many people who don't know shit about C give insane made up reasons for why C is good. C is like if after world war 2 everyone decided to pattern every single gun on the sten because it was really easy to make. And now people retroactively were like actually the sten is the original gun and it's good because it interacts very closely with the bullet and has fewer moving parts. This is nothing, the sten is like that because it's cheap as fuck and when it breaks you can fix it in a burned out French cottage with some sheet metal and a rock and a cigarette.

I HAVE FINALLY SUCCEEDED

IT WORKS!!! IT WORKS!!!!!

[4, 5, 4.3] -> add BECOMES 13.3!!!!!!!!!!

YOU PEOPLE I HAVE DONE IT

source code will be coming soon (as soon as i get more helper functions working.

For now, PLEASE contribute if you can. Even as little as suggesting some helper functions could help me a ton.

Contribute below:

Open a PR, An issue, Anything, Just mention what the language lacks and you don't even need to implement it yourself, I'll add it to the To-Do list and get working on it ASAP.

Join the discord server, I will be posting updates and asking for suggestions and providing beta builds: https://discord.gg/JxnKn9jd

Modern c++ is actually peak

The problem is that you have to be as precise as a needle or you're gonna have a 50-line function that uses things that you do not actually need and has WAY too many "std::"es and is incomprehensible

A friend and me had a conversation, which led to us wanting to confirm what we were thinking. Our "hypothesis" (very informal one xd) is that there's a correlation between people who study languages, and those who are learning programming. As such, here's the poll:

Please, reblog for a larger sample size!

Finite State Automata defining spell syntax.

The spells use only three different characters to be written, "╭" (which can represent "0"), "ʌ" (which can represent "1") and a validation symbol "ᴎ" that can represent ";". When writing spells, spaces, indentation and parenthesis can be added to make them more readable. Those do not modify the spell meaning as only the three characters precedently mentionned matter.

A fourth glyph "╰" can be placed to signify the begining of a spell too, so indentations are more logical, but this character do not add meaning to the spell either.

This automaton is nearly deterministic, with the exception of the validating "root" state, that can only go back on itself to exit the current loop (an ongoing while, the spell itself or a function definition for exemple). The spell also cannot validate before exiting every ongoing loop, and can only validate once every loop are exited. Otherwise, the rest of the states and their transitions are entirely deterministic.

A more detailed version of the FSA :

okay I could have sworn I saw something at one point about a weird programing language that was like oddly kinky? It would praise you when you completed lines of code I think and it had an odd gentle mommy Dom vibe.

i can't remember the name of it or find it now so if anyone thinks this is familiar or know the name of it let me know please.

I thought it might be Whitespace because I remembered it somehow being connected to the videogame Rust but that doesn't seem to be it.

Hi! I've been working on a new dependently typed programming language that's designed to be a Pareto improvement over everything that already exists and it's getting to the point where it's actually usable for practical purposes. I'm really excited about it and want to talk about it so please ask me questions about it!

I've designed a dependently typed language with subtyping and a useful fragment providing universal inference to improve practicality for general purpose scripting and programming. I've been using some original mathematical research to push closer to the impossibility proof boundary than any language has ever gone before, and getting some significant convenience and expressiveness out of it. I'm building a categorical notion of semantics to permit really easy compilation to any target, and hopefully extremely high performance with no UB.

I've developed a new approach to compile time reflection that exposes more of the language to metaprogramming effectively and usefully and safely than prior art, enabling extremely powerful abstractions that don't require syntax macro fuckery. Though just for good measure I developed a new way to approach syntax macros that's nicer too.

I'm integrating a modular effects and coeffects system that should allow better safety and convenience than the rust borrow checker while being a lot more flexible about what it represents and checks, for example one thing I'm excited about are security types, where you can, for example, specify that a piece of data is derived from a user's private data, and that contaminates everything causally linked from that data (except for specific security primitives like a one way hash or a homomorphic computation or whatever) (to the extent that the semantics can represent; making formal proofs of side channels is going to be a very long term project since there are no formal specifications of ISA semantics that capture them and all the hardware instructions to mitigate them are actually broken and don't work as advertised), so then a web response marked with another user's domain statically can't accept private information that doesn't belong to them.

🎊🎊🥳🥳

End term practical marks has been declared......

It's so satisfying seeing my hard work paying off.

I didn't believe I will do so better in programming even tho it's my first time ever to learn programming.

I just want to dance today!!!!.
