I regret nothing. Say what you want.

Edit: I just saw the two typos. If you find them, you’re welcome to keep them.

      This feels a little bit like Brainfuck tbh.

      For what it’s worth, I can think of one thing that would make brainfuck even worse: Instead of using 8 arbitrary characters (it only uses > < + - . , ] and [ for every instruction) for the coding, use the 8 most common letters of the alphabet. Since it ignores all other characters, all of your comments would need to be done without those 8 letters.

      For example, “Hello World” in brainfuck is the following:

      ++++++++[>++++[>++>+++>+++>+<<<<-]>+>+>->>+[<]<-]>>.>---.+++++++..+++.>>.<-.<.+++.------.--------.>>+.>++.
      

      If we instead transposed those 8 instructions onto the 8 most common letters of the alphabet, it would look more like this:

      This is such a waste of time to the point where it infuriates me. I know the standard answer is “why not?”, but it’s just cringe to, like you are trying too hard to purposely be stupid, whereas with standard text editor you can say already they cba’ed to install anything so it was a case of initial setup vs. long term productivity.
