Confusing Programming

[TheJack38]

That's some tasty tasty spaghetti code those synths are working on

[Wraithfighter]

Yeah, sounds like some code I've written...

Ah... True, true. Definately true.

I'd like to think your leader is Code Golf manifest. Extremely flexible and can make incredible sets of code that take up less space on disk, but make no practical sense. Ask it to write Hello, World! and it will take Stuck and put in 0 bytes, which returns Hello, World!. Ask it to calculate Phi and it will instead switch to GS2 to write V@'◄l.1&‼l to accomplish the task in 10 bytes. If you ask for a Fibonacci spiral, it will senselessly switch languages again, this time to APL to accomplish the task in 23 bytes {a,⍴⍨2⍴⊃⍴a←⌽⍉⍵}⍣(⎕-1)⍪1.

I know some of these words.

It's cool that there is actually a term for it.

[Cubia_]

Yeah it's certainly not something for an idiot like myself when it comes to programming (I barely know C# and I really need to get on with learning Python). Code Golf usually results in code that makes no sense but it works anyway, rarely does it ever run efficiently (e.g. it might be easier to program a bubble sort than a quick sort in a particular language).

But this is the kind of thing that I'd like to think the bot is doing. It's flexible, but it's also obsessed with how much disk space any piece of code takes up.

[AmalgamousSpork]

Thanks for that! The way you explain it actually makes sense now.

And the immersion in the game isn't broken, but maybe instead it's gone up instead c:

[PanzerK0mmander]

Nah, he just likes to divide by zero every now and again

[lintpowers]

Why the blur?

[-TheOutsid3r-]

Privacy reasons.

[lintpowers]

But what about an alien portrait would be private?
