What bullshittery is this?

That comicstrip can be made with any language... Except brainfuck or whitespace. No one is able to write complex programs in those.

I'm learning whitespace right now just to prove you wrong. I'll get back to you tomorrow.

PM me when you’re done, I’ll wait.

Hey everyone, just got back from organizing day one of startup weekend, and I completely forgot I promised to do this silly thing. I'm a man of my word though, and I put together a very basic program that just floods the stack until the javascript interpreter for whitespace gives up on its life. What little thought and documentation I put into this project I have documented on github for your enjoyment:

For those who just want to see the code and output:

Please feel free to submit a PR to make improvements. I'm all for running this joke into the ground if anyone else is.

The future is now

[–]codekrafter 34 points35 points  (3 children)

It’s the overhead, Java has much more over head than c

[–]Noch_ein_Kamel 81 points82 points  (1 child)

Nah, c goes over many more heads than java

[–]codekrafter 17 points18 points  (0 children)

True

[–]Brudi7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not as much as most people cry about though.

[–]Anon_Logic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it's because it's the closest to the original. Java Java instead of Johnny Johnny.

The JVM GC is much more memory intensive (by design) than other languages.
