help my excitement has entered a feedback loop and is rapidly increasing more and more and more and i am going to combust and explode into thousands of fiery pieces
ubq323 accidentally deleted a bunch of the apioforum database a while ago
also, more recently, the thing that bridges apioforum posts to apionet has stopped working, which is why nearly everyone has forgotten that apioforum exists
this is an interesting question. on one hand you could argue that "vötvöt" cancels itself out and thus "vötvötgil" is just english. however, according to my previous definition, vötvötgil would be a language devised in a vötgil-like fashion based on vötgil. this means creating a regularized orthography, minimizing the vocabulary to ~600 words, all of which are forced to be 3 letters, and putting it all into an eisenlangoidal grammar. but the thing is that vötgil is already all of these things, so no adjustments whatsoever are needed, therefore vötvötgil is vötgil.
vötgil for other languages would be a language devised in the same manner as vötgil except based on a language which is not english. I will not attempt to formulate what such a conlang would look like; I'll leave this to someone who is proficient/native in a natural language which is not english.
I'm kind of a little bit iffy as to whether I think creating a second channel for long arguments is completely necessary. most of the arguments I find irritating are of the bad faith nature which the aforementioned guidelines are meant to prevent. but I also feel it could be beneficial in the long run, as do most other people
someone going around telling people that things they are interested in are "objectively harmful and masochistic" or "regressive propaganda" doesn't seem very nice to me.
every now and then I think to myself "maybe C++ isn't that bad". then I instantly remind myself that it is.
i don't even know why I have these thoughts in the first place. I have already concluded that C++ is not a language I will ever have any need or will to use in any case.
maybe you could look at QOI ("Quite OK Image format") (spec)? it's supposed to be quite simple to implement while still providing decent compression. i don't know much about it beyond this though
aha, I have heard vaguely of QOI from quintopia's site. perhaps I should have looked into it more. it seems like it could be quite good.
