| 08:03 | <@ErikMesoy> | Blaaahhhhrrrghghgh, legacy code full of GOTOs |
| 08:05 | <&McMartin> | Continuation-passing style, zOMG! |
| 08:05 | <&McMartin> | Which language? |
| 08:11 | <@ErikMesoy> | Custom local language that attempts to be more-readable English-language text and mostly ends up wordy |

| 13:27 | <@celticminstrel> | Sounds a bit like AppleScript. |

| 21:52 | < gizmore|2> | gnolam: ! |
| 22:06 | <&jeroud> | Hello! |
| 22:06 | <&jeroud> | Is anyone else doing adventofcode.com this year? |
| 22:06 | <&jeroud> | I think I've seen McMartin in a shared leaderboard. |
| 22:07 | <&[R]> | A few people have started |
| 22:09 | <@gnolam> | Never done them. IIRC when I checked them out originally, the score was based on "time from release", and then there's no real point in even trying when you're screwed over by your timezone. |
| 22:10 | <&[R]> | Supposedly that's why they do the login bullshit |
| 22:12 | <@TheWatcher> | My coding time is being spent on c# and Project Shinar, alas |
| 22:13 | <&jeroud> | gnolam: I've never bothered with the scoring. I do it recreationally. |
| 22:32 | <@macdjord> | jeroud: I am. |
| 22:40 | | Kindamoody is now known as Kindamoody[zZz] |
| 23:01 | <&McMartin> | I am, and I'm rapidly burning out on it, and I'm blaming my tools |
| 23:01 | <&McMartin> | (as evidenced by the fact that evenings where I say "screw it, I'm just writing it in Python instead" it is faster and more enjoyable) |
| 23:08 | <&ToxicFrog> | What are you writing it in when you aren't writing it in python? |
| 23:14 | <&McMartin> | Rust |
| 23:15 | <&McMartin> | Mainly for practice, but the things it practices aren't actually that interesting. |
| 23:15 | <&McMartin> | There was one year I did it in C as a joke and that joke was actually *hilarious* |
| 23:16 | <@sshine> | C sounds sorta not bad :) |
| 23:16 | <&McMartin> | Because while 70% or more of AoC problems are input parsing, the kind of parsing you do tends to be the kind of thing that's almost perfectly suited for the otherwise entirely useless scanf() function |
| 23:16 | <&McMartin> | scanf is *absolute hax* for most of those |
| 23:16 | <@sshine> | I thought about doing it in Rust because I'm doing Rust in my upcoming job. but honestly, I've been totally swarmed understanding a bunch of algebra that I'm implementing, so I've been doing that instead. |
| 23:16 | <@sshine> | I don't think I ever got past day 14. |
| 23:17 | <@sshine> | would be cool to finish one year for once. |
| 23:17 | <&McMartin> | You can always go back long afterwards. |
| 23:17 | <@sshine> | I suppose. |
| 23:17 | <&McMartin> | I've been working my way through 2019, which I'd skipped before |
| 23:17 | <&McMartin> | 2019 is both heavily themed and extremely my jam, and I've been theming my solutions to make implausible use of Python generators for intentionally interleaved lazy computation. |
| 23:18 | <@sshine> | haha, ok |
| 23:18 | <&McMartin> | Once I actually solve the main line, I'll break out the "themed" ones and see if I can't design a proper version in C that does the job without dynamic memory allocation. |
| 23:18 | <&McMartin> | Because that *also* sounds like my jam |
| 23:19 | <&McMartin> | And then of course once I have *that* |
| 23:19 | <&McMartin> | Then I can compile it to m68k code instead of arm or x64 |
| 23:20 | <&McMartin> | and then run it on an Atari ST! |
| 23:20 | <&McMartin> | Oh ho ho, villainy! |
| 23:23 | <@gnolam> | Checking again: it is indeed still "time from release", so basically "half the planet shouldn't bother". |
| 23:26 | <&ToxicFrog> | Only if you care about the score, which, uh, are there people who actually care about the score? |
| 23:26 | <&ToxicFrog> | I mean, I guess you do |
| 23:27 | <@gnolam> | In here at least, people were comparing scores, not solutions. |
| 23:27 | <@gnolam> | So. |
| 23:27 | <@gnolam> | Yeah. |
