01:49:02 <Luyt> Whoah, I didn't know that there were *that* much esoteric languages!
01:49:16 * Luyt looks at http://www.esolangs.org/wiki/Language_list
01:50:52 <oerjan> well anyone can make one :)
01:51:53 <oerjan> otoh some make dozens (i'm looking at you zzo38)
01:52:33 <oerjan> or i would, if he were in a channel at the moment
01:53:55 <Luyt> I guess it'd require a certain mindset to create a new language, even if it's outrageous.
01:54:25 <oerjan> i suppose i should mention Chris Pressey as well, he was here just a couple hours ago
01:55:14 <oerjan> (the inventor of befunge, one of the most famous ones. he's rarely here.)
01:55:47 <oerjan> well you have to be a geek by definition
01:57:02 <Luyt> maybe a stochastic chance description notation I once wrote for a random music generation program would qualify too, as a language?
01:57:31 <Luyt> But I'd classify that more as a DSL
01:57:35 <oerjan> there are a number of people here doing music things
01:57:50 <oerjan> although not always at the same time as esolanging
01:58:34 <oerjan> Luyt: take a look at Fugue (iirc)
01:58:44 <Luyt> > would mean octave up, + a semitone up, ? a new random note within the current scale context, = the same note again, <space> a pause, etc.... very obvious.
01:59:30 <oerjan> that's a language for programming with music though, rather than the reverse
02:00:39 <Luyt> heh, Fugue is actually something similar which I used for my program. Only my intervals were dependent on scale context, rather than always a fixed musical interval.
02:01:14 <Luyt> plus, my DSL was/is used to generate music, not computations ;-)
02:02:16 <Luyt> whoah, this concept of notating computational operations using musical notes is weird
02:02:59 -!- Mathnerd314 has joined.
02:03:00 <oerjan> it's probably one of the more unusual languages on the wiki
02:03:27 <Luyt> I guess conventional programmers would cry out that such things should not exist
02:06:23 * Luyt made a bookmark for posteruty
02:06:56 <oerjan> i see you obsess about spelling, you'll fit right in here :D
02:10:16 <Luyt> I'm not really someone who gets a kick out of strange languages (although I find them interesting)
02:11:25 <Luyt> But I'm all for clear expression and readability and maintainability.
02:12:00 <Luyt> Well, at least in my work.
02:12:21 <Luyt> Maybe this esoteric language thing is more like a hobby or something?
02:12:53 <Luyt> I wouldn't write my company's production code in Piet!
02:13:30 <oerjan> you'd think. it's not exactly a career choice... afaik.
02:14:29 <Luyt> Imagine you'd inherit a code base of 100.000 lines of COBOL.
02:14:39 <oerjan> AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAa
02:15:34 * oerjan only programs for fun, anyhow
02:16:04 <oerjan> and not that often, actually
02:16:17 <Luyt> I see. For me it's both a hobby and work. And some more, too.
02:16:26 <Luyt> Some kind of life-fullfillment
02:19:58 <Luyt> There's not much I could do otherwise. Maybe become a baker's apprentice, or a farmhand perhaps

02:20:48 <Luyt> What else would a deep knowledge of Python's standard library be good for?
02:21:07 <oerjan> very important for bakers, you say? :D
02:21:22 <Luyt> Au contraire: totally irrelevant
02:22:10 <Luyt> A good knowlegde of Python's libraries would/is be great if you program python, but when nobody wants python programs, such knowledge is useless.
02:22:11 <oerjan> i'm sure bakers are very object oriented
02:22:54 * oerjan is generally pun oriented
02:23:23 <Luyt> and abandoning computing and switching to industrial jobs immediately makes all your knowledge useless
02:23:41 <Luyt> Instead you have to learn how to knead dough.
02:25:22 <oerjan> i guess python cannot be used for all your kneads
02:25:40 <Luyt> neither can any other computer language ;-)

04:15:08 <zzo38> I have invented a few card games using tarot cards. (In the games the cards were designed for, they are trick-taking games with the majors being trumps) (But it is possible to design other games as well)
04:16:16 <zzo38> Where do we go to print a deck of cards? (I mean just any kind of deck of cards, in general)
04:16:50 * oerjan doesn't know about such things
04:23:45 <Gregor> It's not easy. Cards have some vital properties that can't be replicated at a print shop.

04:30:45 <zzo38> Well, at first, it is just something personal I would be looking for. Later on it might be differently
04:32:00 <zzo38> What I should do, is sell the ULTRACARD set, and then the Spider Tarot Deck (including a book), and the Spider Tarot Deck Standards Document (so that anyone else who does so, even if the deck has differences, as long as it follows the general rules described in the standards document, can then say they are conform the standard!)

11:05:55 <CakeProphet> in particular... I was thinking you could have a Haskell-related language with types as first-class entities, and a means to run certain functions at compile time instead of runtime to implement things like constraints.
11:08:55 <CakeProphet> if the function a) has constant arguments b) does not compute side-effects... then it could be ran at compile-time via an interpreter.

11:49:23 <Deewiant> ais523: I have a message to you from cpressey
11:49:44 <Deewiant> 2010-06-07 23:30:56 ( cpressey) I come to announce Burro 2.0: http://catseye.tc/projects/burro/doc/burro.html
11:49:47 <Deewiant> 2010-06-07 23:34:37 ( cpressey) Well, if you see him before I do, let him know that his offhand observation that Burro was broken, resulted in months of work for me fixing it :)
11:49:50 <Deewiant> 2010-06-07 23:34:52 ( cpressey) Not actual full months -- spare-time-months, of course
11:50:53 <ais523> that two of the commands weren't actually reverses, or something like that
11:51:45 <ais523> ah, it was that {} didn't have an inverse
11:51:51 <ais523> as mentioned in what that link probably was
11:52:00 <ais523> (just because I filter links doesn't mean I can't navigate the Cat's Eye website...)
11:52:01 <Deewiant> Oh, that link does actually state it
11:52:26 <Deewiant> I managed to stop before getting that far
11:52:50 <ais523> hmm, done with typical cpressey thoroughness, I like reading his work
11:53:02 <ais523> you can't even deduce the gender from the name in that case
11:56:33 <ais523> "Concatenation of instructions is defined as composition of functions"
11:56:37 <ais523> he's even made it concatenative!
11:56:44 <ais523> although it doesn't seem to use typical concatenative control flow
11:59:03 <ais523> hmm, I wonder what sort of category is implied by the group of Burro programs?
12:03:13 <augur> ais523: you need to ping me otherwise i odnt know you're talking to me.

13:34:52 <AnMaster> was a while ago I read it, so I could be wrong
13:36:53 <AnMaster> hm I just realised a nice way to measure ambient temperature if you don't have any thermometer handy is to wake a laptop from s2ram and check harddrive temperature right away
13:37:15 <AnMaster> of course it needs to have been suspended for long enough for the harddrive to cool to ambient temperature for this to work

13:59:40 <CakeProphet> hmmm... does Haskell have a set typeclass?
14:01:15 <oerjan> CakeProphet: not really.
14:01:38 <CakeProphet> so you could define the set operators for a type... and not the implementation.
14:02:45 <oerjan> CakeProphet: it would have to be multiparameter, which is already an extension...
14:02:58 <oerjan> (set _and_ contained type)
14:03:15 <oerjan> there's probably a package somewhere

14:07:21 <oerjan> (where somewhere = hackage, naturally)
14:33:41 <AnMaster> why are 3D editing so awkward I wonder. I mean stuff like 3D modellers, 3D cad programs and so on. They are use awkward to use and the camera controls for the perspective view is usually awkward. And if you realise you need to add something that isn't on what is currently the "outside" of the model, things are really awkward...
14:34:35 -!- MigoMipo has quit (Remote host closed the connection).
14:35:07 <AnMaster> hm, I think the current user interaction system for those (and it is pretty similar for all 3D editors, just some small differences like which mouse button does what in the perspective view and so on...) needs some major rethinking. Not that I have any idea for a better UI that would work with a normal mouse

15:04:24 <CakeProphet> #esoteric should deploy POP as an abstract business solution for concerned markets.
15:05:56 <CakeProphet> In POP everything is a program. This program-oriented environment allows programs to reason about the programs that program what they're programming. Even integers are programs.

15:18:37 <CakeProphet> Subject-Oriented Programming is an object-oriented software paradigm in which the state (fields) and behavior (methods) of objects are not seen as intrinsic to the objects themselves, but are provided by various subjective perceptions (“subjects”) of the objects.
15:26:27 <relet> Sounds reasonable. If you want to split that string, better bring your own axe.

15:34:28 <ais523> referring to your POP concept
15:34:29 <CakeProphet> as it turns out there's a lot of pedantic dickfaces who program
15:34:36 <ais523> and that doesn't surprise me at all
15:34:47 <CakeProphet> and it seems a lot of them enjoy programming language IRC channels.
15:34:53 <ais523> many good programmers, and probably many bad ones too, are very pedantic
15:35:06 <ais523> a large number of programmers use the Internet, which has an unusually high proportion of dickfaces
15:35:15 <ais523> and it would therefore be surprising if there wasn't a large overlap

15:40:17 <CakeProphet> I wonder how you could make person-oriented programming.

15:45:26 <ais523> hmm, new page: http://esolangs.org/wiki/Tubes
15:45:41 <ais523> horrifically formatted and hard to read, but it seems like a legit attempt to make an esolang
15:48:43 <CakeProphet> the cabal will deliberate on who to sacrifice in exchange for an esolang page.
15:49:24 <cpressey> Hi, my name's cpressey and I'll be your cabal today. Can I interest you in the collusion soup?
15:50:38 <CakeProphet> I made an (unimplemented) language that looks similar to Tubes.

18:21:18 <cheater99> asiekierka, welcome to the ESO language support channel
18:21:50 <asiekierka> and the concept evolves around binary and a stack
18:21:55 <asiekierka> as in you can input either 0 or 1 to the stack
18:22:18 -!- asiekierka has changed nick to asie[brb].

18:28:51 -!- asie[brb] has changed nick to asiekierka.
18:29:03 <asiekierka> so our stack looks like "1,0,1,1,0,0,1"
18:29:20 <asiekierka> executing it on our stack will make it
18:29:32 <asiekierka> effectively turning the 2 binary digits into a binary number
18:29:54 <asiekierka> of course, we might not want such a mode, so we use the SPLIT "#" command
18:30:23 <asiekierka> there's also a way to swap the two topmost elements of the stack
18:30:41 <asiekierka> BUT what if we want to get to the FIFTH part and not the second?
18:31:13 <asiekierka> voila! we have accessed what we wanted
18:31:51 <asiekierka> like X - remove from stack (result: "0,1,1,0,0,1")
18:32:18 <asiekierka> $ - terminate (result: C:\_ for you MS-DOSers, and something else for you Unixers)
18:32:30 <asiekierka> ! - perform a NOT (result: 0,0,1,1,0,0,1)
18:32:42 <asiekierka> ? - skips the next command if the binary value is nonzero
18:33:13 <asiekierka> and / \ - rotates the IP left or right, respectively
18:33:37 <asiekierka> - - subtracts the 2 binary numbers (if the result is <0, it's kept as 0)
18:37:19 <pineapple> asiekierka: the "something else for you Unixers" is probably a $, actually
18:38:08 <asiekierka> i want to replace ? (abused in so many 2D esolangs)
18:40:34 <asiekierka> here you go, an OR implemented in an as-of-yet unnamed language
18:43:02 <asiekierka> actually, i've realized i dont need [...] in 2D
18:43:22 <asiekierka> and my friend kindly made a 1D OR working for that
18:44:43 <asiekierka> my friend is now going to make a hello world
18:45:40 <asiekierka> let's see at the example of a (1,0) stack
18:45:44 <cpressey> Interesting observation: We can think of [...] as a way to extend 1D into ~1.5D (consider the added stack to be something close to "half a dimension"), precisely because 1 dimension isn't enough to be Turing-complete.
18:46:35 <asiekierka> (1,1) -> (11) -> (1,11) -> (11,1) -> (1)
18:47:39 <asiekierka> to make a more than 1-bit OR would require a lot of tinkering
18:49:37 <asiekierka> i might add extra AND/OR commands because of that, tho
18:51:04 <pineapple> i guess i don't understand esolang design, then
18:51:19 <asiekierka> well you can just do it without a command on it's own
18:51:29 <asiekierka> and my esolang goal is to never make commands that can be done with other commands
18:51:45 <pineapple> it kinda takes "if there's a way to do a command without using it, then don't include it" to the hardcore extreme
18:52:19 <asiekierka> but if it only takes (bits*2) commands to do that?
18:52:28 <asiekierka> as in for a 5-bit value it takes 5*2 commands
18:52:51 <pineapple> sounds like the reason why complex.h doesn't have the cis function
18:53:17 <asiekierka> AND, OR and XOR can be emulated with other commands but only for 1 bit
18:53:38 <pineapple> Ilari_antrcomp: or cos(x) + I*sin(x)
18:53:43 <asiekierka> for values bigger than 1 bit it's hard to do MUCH operations between tem
18:54:05 <asiekierka> i believe that might warrant one more command
18:54:15 <asiekierka> as in the topmost item gets pushed to the very bottom
18:54:37 <pineapple> i like that without the opposite instruction
18:56:50 <asiekierka> S - output the current stack size to the stack
18:57:35 <asiekierka> you can in theory move any value anywhere
18:57:42 <asiekierka> you can use join to get to the 5th value
18:58:31 <asiekierka> that's it, i add in ( as it is in fact needed
19:01:51 <asiekierka> if not for the lack of an = at the end
19:02:03 <asiekierka> we'd have a code palindrome... or something

20:02:07 * cpressey points to one such theorem as it drifts past
20:07:58 <cpressey> Probably best answered by CakeProphet.
20:09:31 <CakeProphet> it is a crunk form of locomotion often attributed to gangsters such as myself.
20:19:02 <CakeProphet> and... doesn't everything pertain to mathematics? At least, that's what my mathematics professors always tell me.
20:19:29 <CakeProphet> I mean, the alternative is that they were all just arrogant pricks.
20:23:58 <cpressey> I thought that was "swagman". Specifically of the "jolly" variety.
20:25:59 -!- Adrian^L_ has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer).
20:33:51 <CakeProphet> Phantom_Hoover: I would also stipulate that everyone is /not/ our current understanding of mathematics.
20:33:56 <CakeProphet> which is a point that some people seem to gloss over.
20:34:36 <CakeProphet> ...meaning that most systems can be modelled mathematically, but we do not necessarily have the knowledge or endurance to do the modelling.
20:35:25 <CakeProphet> also. here is where I found my swagga': http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YpAePSP-ni4
20:35:41 <CakeProphet> though you might be offended by my musical tastes.
20:36:47 <CakeProphet> you'll see some nice album art, a moving slider, and some intelligent commentary.
20:46:08 <CakeProphet> nice in the sense that it was courteous of the submitter to include an image to look at as you watch the slider move.
20:47:13 <CakeProphet> Anyways. I'm going to go play a game of Risk. I will likely not return for several days.
20:47:26 <CakeProphet> but actually it'll be like 3 hours or something.
20:49:08 <CakeProphet> ...I actually like all of those languages...
20:50:20 <CakeProphet> Because it basically is just C# without any of the good features.

22:06:20 <Oranjer> hint: The Ghost that Sucks
22:06:20 <oerjan> that was my thought too, just before writing that
22:06:44 <oerjan> Oranjer: i think i did that before
22:07:35 <fizzie`> For what its for, I've never really needed the N and V flag-settings of BIT, and it's reasonably easy to remember the "main" functionality of it (and A and memory, throw away the result but set zero flag accordingly).
22:09:10 <cpressey> So BIT is to AND as CMP is to SBC (roughly)?
22:15:04 <oerjan> <pineapple> it kinda takes "if there's a way to do a command without using it, then don't include it" to the hardcore extreme
22:15:12 <oerjan> that's almost what "tarpit" means
22:16:15 <oerjan> (you will note our wiki has a specific category for Turing Tarpits (tarpits that are turing complete)

22:23:02 <cpressey> not that it's a really frequently-updated blog
22:23:20 <cpressey> was it a mathematically-oriented ballistic? :)

22:23:54 <oerjan> there's was a previous one that sort of was, iirc

22:28:27 <oerjan> (neither is he sucky, just to be clear)
22:30:06 <Rugxulo> just so you know, I wrote Rexx and Pascal interpreters for B93, also hacked up a DOS assembly one (not yours) to be 982 bytes
22:30:37 <Rugxulo> but it's not as impressive as AnMaster (CFunge) and Deewiant (CCBI)
22:30:55 <Rugxulo> oops, should've said dual Borland-ish / ISO 7185 (compiles in both without changes)
22:31:08 <Rugxulo> although there's no built-in random in ISO 7185
22:31:20 <Rugxulo> but it just ignores that ;-)
22:32:36 <Rugxulo> anyways, I posted them to comp.lang.rexx and comp.lang.pascal.{borland,ansi-iso}, respectively

22:55:59 <Rugxulo> FreePascal 2.4.0 compiles mine to 30k (static!), UPX halves that
22:56:05 <cpressey> Interesting. You mentioned mine -- befia? Is it still floating around out there somewhere?
22:56:36 <Rugxulo> none of these are based upon that (which, AFAICT, was loosely based upon befos or maybe the C version or both??)

22:58:41 <Rugxulo> in other words, it doesn't work out-of-the-box (e.g., in DOS, Win32, etc)
22:58:44 <cpressey> Yeah, I guess befia wormed its way into BefOS, even though IIRC it's not used heavily in it.
22:59:01 <cpressey> Used to be its own project on the site -- not anymore.
22:59:06 <Rugxulo> BTW, just to tell you two very minor details:
22:59:28 <Rugxulo> Borland is still around (somewhat), but they spun off the development tools / IDEs to CodeGear, which is now owned by Embarcadero
22:59:44 <Rugxulo> Turbo C++ Explorer 2006 (which never installed correctly for me) was freeware, and it had latest / last TASM32 5.3
22:59:52 <Rugxulo> but they don't offer it online anymore :-(
23:00:17 <Rugxulo> oh, and NASM by default aligns data section to four bytes, so you have to say "section .data align=1" if you want to avoid that (whereas you just ignored that directive altogether for same effect)
23:00:47 <cpressey> Oh, right. I converted all my TASM sources of note to NASM. Except befia. But it still lives in the old TASM directory of BefOS.
23:01:01 <cpressey> I remember running into some damn alignment issue when converting Shelta to NASM.
23:01:15 <Rugxulo> right, I saw you mention somewhere in there
23:01:28 <Rugxulo> I would've e-mailed you, but I couldn't find one, so I guess you didn't want to be bothered
