@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

C is very fun, though. 
@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 #toyprogrammingchallenge 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.

The first #Toyprogrammingchallenge 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".

@Absinthe @yohanandiamond @l0wk3y Programming languages. 
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 ).

@yohanandiamond @p @l0wk3y@freespeechextremist.com I always like to start new langues here:
@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.
@design_RG they don't really taste like much, and in cold drinks they don't soften noticeably. Although, I wouldn't mind a twizzlers an a good day
How popular/effective are straw bans? First thing, I saw a cool solution in Tahiti. They gave you a hollow raw pasta tube. Works way better than the paper ones.
OTOH, I just saw the latest Coca-Cola commercial. After the puffin opens the Cole with his beak the Polar bear gives him a plastic bendy straw. Forget that birds can't use straws because they have no lips. As soon as I saw it, I expected outcry and boycott and offence against coke. Still haven't heard anything.
@freemo @radiofreqs @crunchy so.... what does it do? :) I assume it is a component in a larger project

@Absinthe
Turns an analog input signal into a digital equivelant (same frequency but magnitude information is lost)
@radiofreqs @crunchy
@mollusk it is definitely worth it

@Absinthe I just found out about advent of code this year and it looks neat. I may try some of the challenges if I have the time. Thanks for the link, I'll check it out!
@mollusk I don't, but I encourage you to try it with some of the #toyprogrammingchallenges or if you have dug deeply enough into it #AventOfCode Nothing like using a language for something that is not silly and contrived to get to know how you really feel about it.
Give this a shot:

@freemo @radiofreqs @crunchy pretty, what's it do?
