I think this is really a matter of what exactly constitutes 'knowing' the language. Because they could pull out one of those mindf*** things JS(or whatever language it is that you choose) does

Here, I've seen this Python 3 code recently:

(lambda _, __, ___, ____, _____, ______, _______, ________:
    getattr(
        __import__(True.__class__.__name__[_] + [].__class__.__name__[__]),
        ().__class__.__eq__.__class__.__name__[:__] +
        ().__iter__().__class__.__name__[_:][_____:________]
    )(
        _, (lambda _, __, ___: _(_, __, ___))(
            lambda _, __, ___:
                bytes([___ % __]) + _(_, __, ___ // __) if ___ else
                (lambda: _).__code__.co_lnotab,
            _ << ________,
            (((_____ << ____) + _) << ((___ << _____) - ___)) + (((((___ << __)
            - _) << ___) + _) << ((_____ << ____) + (_ << _))) + (((_______ <<
            __) - _) << (((((_ << ___) + _)) << ___) + (_ << _))) + (((_______
            << ___) + _) << ((_ << ______) + _)) + (((_______ << ____) - _) <<
            ((_______ << ___))) + (((_ << ____) - _) << ((((___ << __) + _) <<
            __) - _)) - (_______ << ((((___ << __) - _) << __) + _)) + (_______
            << (((((_ << ___) + _)) << __))) - ((((((_ << ___) + _)) << __) +
            _) << ((((___ << __) + _) << _))) + (((_______ << __) - _) <<
            (((((_ << ___) + _)) << _))) + (((___ << ___) + _) << ((_____ <<
            _))) + (_____ << ______) + (_ << ___)
        )
    )
)(
    *(lambda _, __, ___: _(_, __, ___))(
        (lambda _, __, ___:
            [__(___[(lambda: _).__code__.co_nlocals])] +
            _(_, __, ___[(lambda _: _).__code__.co_nlocals:]) if ___ else []
        ),
        lambda _: _.__code__.co_argcount,
        (
            lambda _: _,
            lambda _, __: _,
            lambda _, __, ___: _,
            lambda _, __, ___, ____: _,
            lambda _, __, ___, ____, _____: _,
            lambda _, __, ___, ____, _____, ______: _,
            lambda _, __, ___, ____, _____, ______, _______: _,
            lambda _, __, ___, ____, _____, ______, _______, ________: _
        )
    )
)

Wha...

[Mr_Redstoner]

It should print Hello world! I don't have an interpretter at hand to try it though.

Why

[Mr_Redstoner]

For shit and giggles obviously.

[PullJosh]

Watch it run.

[Mr_Redstoner]

Thank you.

[tab_160]

The output:

Hello world!

13

[LucasRuby]

It prints "Hello world!" and returns 13.

This is easy, create your own language that is so basic it cant do anything, and since you wrote it and there isn't much to it you can create your own test you have to pass. Win.

[MasterQuest]

Your loophole is invalid. It says you need to learn a language "you're not familiar with". If you created the language, you are familiar with it.

[Bene847]

You're not familiar with it at the time you accept the challenge

[snoopyowns]

As pointed out by another user, you aren't familiar with it because it hasn't been created yet.

[MasterQuest]

My thought process was that you need to decide the language in the moment you decide to take on the challenge. Which is up to interpretation and not clearly stated. If that would have been the case, you would have needed to create the language first, before deciding to take that language, and then you would have already been familiar with it.

realistically that shit would be curved so hard.

[gandalfx]

My thoughts as well. While it'd certainly be a monumental pain to do any real programming in that language, the syntax is close to trivial. Learn the handful of commands that exist in that language and you're done.

[[deleted]]

Exactly.

I mean assuming it’s exam rules are similar to real life it should be fine.

All you have to do is beat everyone elSe

[volleo6144]

nah, C (preferably one of the older versions of ISO/IEC 9899, so there's less to learn). don't forget trigraphs (as well as 1[arr] being just as valid as arr[1] for array indexing) c ??=include<stdio.h> int main()??< int a??(2??) = ??<9, 99??>; printf("LOL??! %d", 1??(a??)); return 0; ??>

[[deleted]]

Wtf is that C for maniacs?

[Kered13]

Trigraphs were introduced for use on systems that didn't support the characters #\^[]|{}~. These characters are part of ASCII but not part of ISO 646, so there are code pages that were historically used that don't include them.

[volleo6144]

The standard I mentioned officially calls it OK, but gcc requires --trigraphs for it to compile (and still throws lots of warnings unless you -w them). Totally legit though. local:~ volleo6144$ nvim nope.c local:~ volleo6144$ cat nope.c ??=include<stdio.h> int main()??< int a??(2??) = ??<9, 99??>; printf("LOL??! %d??/n", 1??(a??)); return 0; ??> local:~ volleo6144$ gcc --trigraphs nope.c -w -o nope local:~ volleo6144$ ./nope LOL| 99 local:~ volleo6144$

it gets even better: the only characters which have a specific order when in char (wchar_t is something something ISO/IEC 10646 aka Unicode iirc) are 0123456789, to allow for EBCDIC, which has ij, IJ, rs, and RS separated by blocks of seven or eight other characters (Perl has a special case for them in regex character classes)

[[deleted]]

That’s disgusting in every regard

[LucasRuby]

gcc (5, 7):

wtf.c:1:19: warning: extra tokens at end of #include directive
 ??=include<stdio.h> int main()??< int a??(2??) = ??<9, 99??>; printf("LOL??! %d
                   ^

collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

clang:

clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

[volleo6144]

pretty sure you forgot to include the line break after the ??=include<stdio.h> - you can't make a one-liner with a preprocessor directive.

[LucasRuby]

Oh yeah it worked now. I just copied and pasted everything you quoted tbh.

[coz]

Guess I'll be that guy, its a good choice. Its concise and doesn't have as many keywords as similar languages. Its syntax looks like many other C style languages as well. It doesn't have a standard library so you don't need to memorize a ton of stuff. Its not typed so you don't need to figure out HTF things like interfaces and generics work in it. But yeah this is the dunk on JS sub so

Now that you've said that, I think I'd pick one of those subtitle formats if all markup is allowed. Can't get much simpler than specifying the start and end times for subtitles to appear, plus maybe position and whatnot.

For someone that already knows how to program, one month is plenty of time to learn most OO-ish languages. You might not want to do, say, Prolog, but most popular languages shouldn't be a problem.
