@p @yohanandiamond @l0wk3y@freespeechextremist.com But does it support TCO :)

@Absinthe @yohanandiamond @l0wk3y The nicest thing about it is the CSP stuff, I think. It's also ruthlessly simple. Ken Thompson is involved, he has done a lot of the language design and a lot of the compiler.

@p @yohanandiamond @l0wk3y@freespeechextremist.com I absolutely love Rosetta Code. Got introduced when I was involved in an Ada to C++ converter project. It is super awesome, even just to peruse for finding out different languages exist.

@Absinthe @yohanandiamond @l0wk3y Oh, you might like rosettacode.org, then. It's full of problems like that, and if you are learning something less common, there will be some algorithms that you can implement pretty easily.

@yohanandiamond I am using Python, but it is pretty language agnostic. I have seen results posted in just about every language I could think of.

Oh, one thing, @Absinthe what programming language are you using for AoC? I was using Rust.

@yohanandiamond @p @l0wk3y@freespeechextremist.com I encourage you to do so, at least a few days worth.

@Absinthe @p @l0wk3y I started late (on AdventOfCode) and did only one and a half day :P
I had to travel too, Internet was bad and I ended up losing motivation. I'll try to go back to it when I go back home.

@p @yohanandiamond I have fed my wife and children with C++ so there's that :) Fun is in the eye of the beholder. C and C++ can both be fun depending on what you do with them

@yohanandiamond C++ is, in my experience, not very enjoyable.

:dmr: C is very fun, though. :ken:

@yohanandiamond @l0wk3y@freespeechextremist.com @p a language that has unit tests as first class items ... that's definitely interesting. There is a local guy here that teaches and he really has a super massive hardon for Golang... I must give it a shot some day for sure

@p @yohanandiamond @l0wk3y@freespeechextremist.com I still want to find a good all purpose "Toy" program. I might dig through some of the AdventOfCode stuff this year, as I loved some of his problems. Getting interrupted half way through with my Tahiti trip (poor me :D ) kind of stopped me at day 10 for the time being, but I liked the potential of his IntCode computer and things like that.

Who knows, soon time to get back to coming up with more problems again. Feel free to participate or suggest some as well.

@p @yohanandiamond @l0wk3y@freespeechextremist.com Sure you can, as well as other solutions too. 10 programmers 11 Solutions!

@Absinthe @yohanandiamond @l0wk3y That's fun! I think you could save some effort by putting "ones" and "teens" into the same array.

@p @yohanandiamond @l0wk3y@freespeechextremist.com

The first I put up was for 99 Bottles of Beer. However, I added the twist, that it has to output text only, no numerals. So it was for "Ninety-nine Bottles of Beer".

Feel free to give it a shot at :

@Absinthe @yohanandiamond @l0wk3y Programming languages. :bwk:

When I do a programming language, I usually go with "Hello, World!", then 99 Bottles of Beer ( http://99-bottles-of-beer.net/abc.html ), then Project Euler #31 ( https://projecteuler.net/problem=31 ).

@standfold I don't get it. Did Lush want to include TERFS and SWERFS or exclude TERFS and SWERFS? Seems with each additional *ERF are reducing the supportive population of who they are considering FEMINIST. Not sure why a boycott is being called in this situation, but more power to you.
