00:13:57 <Razor-X> It's not that hard. I coded an IRC bot from scratch in Haskell.
00:14:21 <Razor-X> xor_: A few minutes after you left yesterday, I made a hackish function to evaluate things in postfix fashion in Lisp.
00:14:24 -!- tgwizard has quit (Remote closed the connection).
00:14:31 <Razor-X> But I was too lazy to look up the (syntax-rules) way, so it's hackish.
00:15:09 <Razor-X> For clarification: is (= (/ 3 4 5) (postfix '(3 4 5 /))) #t?
00:15:21 <Razor-X> Or would it be (postfix '(5 4 3 /)) ?
00:16:25 <lament> Razor-X: but that's a function, not a special form, so it's the same as in any other language.
00:16:58 <Razor-X> Well, I don't really use it as a procedure only. I just reverse the arguments and re-feed it to eval.
00:17:05 <Razor-X> But a special form would be the correct way.

00:44:15 <xor_> what is set! ?
00:44:56 <Razor-X> It's an imperative operator.
00:45:20 <Razor-X> (define blah '(3)) (set! blah '(4 5)) blah --> (4 5)

20:54:16 * CakeProphet starting creating a brainfuck interpreter in Microsoft Excel... because his typing class is soooooooo boring.
20:55:00 <CakeProphet> I'm pretty sure you could create a finite-program-size version of Brainfuck in Microsoft Excel using formulas.
20:57:58 <xor_> How would you do that?

21:24:11 <CakeProphet> B1 through Bxxx becomes an iteration overthe contents of A1
21:24:43 <CakeProphet> B2 (and down) is the if check for pointer location, using the last pointer location as an input value...
21:25:32 <CakeProphet> and that's basically what I've got so far.
21:26:47 <xor_> I'm no whiz at excel equations
21:27:08 <CakeProphet> would return a single character from the source in A1... so you just fill that formula down about 100-something times... and you've got an iteration over the contents of A1
21:28:12 <CakeProphet> and then... on the adjacent cells for each iteration you do parsing... using the if() function... with the return value for that cell being dependent on the instruction given.
21:28:28 <CakeProphet> but will always return the curren array position you're working in.
21:28:43 <CakeProphet> Each row would basically represent a state of the program.
