This is just quality; especially the example program.

Good lord. I know those people.

They have my profound respect for a language of ultimate amusing quality.

Truly impressive.

I'm tempted to learn it just so I can put it on my CV.

Question

[raggedyman.livejournal.com]

Being a non techy type so not understanding much of anything on the example program / tutorial page: would this actually work / do anything useful??

Re: Question

Yes, in the same way as the Carrier Pidgeon Protocol would. It looks like they've even written a compiler, so you can actually write programs in Whitespace and run them. It's technically a perfectly usable language, and you can write most simple programs in it. Whether you'd want to is another matter entirely...

i can see that editing it would be rather a pig. i might not be a techie but i was able to work that bit out for myself.

Re: Question

[duncanneko.livejournal.com]

Hehe... I think I'd just find an editor that did visible whitespaces. Or code it all in a's, b's and c's and then do a global search/replace at the end :)

Re: Question

[robinbloke.livejournal.com]

Or write an editor to work for it ;)

Re: Question

[duncanneko.livejournal.com]

But would you write the editor in Whitespace too? *grins*

This could get very silly...

Re: Question

Why not? The MFC editor was written in MFC.
