Scripting a scripting language

Helps to learn a language

But that leaves my Entropy comp starved for attention. *pushes into case, locks lid, hides under pillow*

Anyways, yesterday I was prodded with interviews and surveys for three AND A HALF hours about pretty much one question, Are you sad?

Ya, boring. So I talked about fears and anxiety of groups and filled bubble sheets. Ended with me getting 30$. Straight to the education fund, I'm going to need it with my 6/24s in math. And that was my last quiz, I totally failed the one today. Completing the square and partial factoring are just processes I don't like. -b/2a can do everything they can do better. At least with quadratics, which is all they've taught us to why we'd use those methods. Oh well, I had fun today messing with Befunge after hassling a teacher to download it for me so it wouldn't get deleted

It went something like this(Pardon 64D's lack of double spacing)

"?ereht "v

GGGGv"is"?"t'nsi",,,>,,,,,,,,,@

GGGG>GGGGGGGGGGGGGGG^

(Ya, was a simple one to get use to it. Either prints "is there?" or "isn't there?")

Ya, Befunge seems like a good language for LISP. Then again, LISP is good for everything

I'm also working on a random10 system. Ugly number. I have a random9 that looks pretty clean(Well, not when cluttered with Gs)

G G v G G

v < G > v

G 1 G 9

v2?<?>?8v

G 3 v 7

v <4?6> v

G G 5 G

> G v G <

Are you sad, serpy?

Anyway, Befunge looks… different.

HAPPY

Befunge is the best. I really wish they'd make a more comprehensive version, which is why I've decided to start a project of making an interpreter for it. Who knows, I met get somewhere with it. Screw one dimensional programming that cuts itself up with ifs to create this fractured body. Two dimensional is the way to go(Fraid 3D programming would be a horrible thing to interface with, though allowing code segments and an array could do the trick(Oh, and LISP still wins even though it is one dimensional. Minimal syntax is another nice feature(which Befunge kind of inherits(I suppose most TuringTarpits do too))))

Hooray for embedded parhathasis! parhethasis?

Parahethosis? w/e.

I'd try it, but…

Paranthesis is an easier word to spell if you were taught it before brackets because French people like big words(Compensating for something else?)

I'm loving how I can screw with newLISP's interface. I've wanted to do stuff with GM's before, especially the object interface, but it isn't so opensource. With newLISP I've been able to change the tools to use a useful feature that should of been in there from the start

(print (count '("(" ")") (explode (read-file (main-args 2)))))

I made that the tool, and then changed the interface to use 3 values for tool type instead of 2. Before it was whole text and output in console, or selected text with output being the selected text. Now I've changed it to be an output method that takes the selected text and outputs in the console (I really need to get over this verbosity of Novelas itch)

Yes, your comments have doubled, tripled, and more in size.

I can see your weekly quota coming ever closer, and closer again.

Also, open source is damn neat, eh?
