Hey all. I'm kind of new around here (in the devel list), but I have been using Debian for a while, and I want to contribute. I'm not much of a C coder or anything, but I can whack Perl with the rest of them. Anyway, getting to the point, I took a little and coded a Funge interpreter in Perl. This is not useful at all, and is more of a novelty. A funge (to the uninitiated) is a genre of programming language. It has the following `features':
- Stack Based Language - N Dimensional Programming - Character based directives more information at: http://www.cats-eye.com/funge/ This language is not useful _at all_, but it *is* a lot of fun to code in. Here's an example: &:*.52*,@ That will prompt for a number, and then print the square and a newline. As you can see, it has quite limited use. I wrote this interpreter mainly out of boredom, and because none of the other interpreters are under GPL. I was just wondering if there was any interest for another goofy language (we have intercal for Debian already I beleive) and if anyone would be interested in this. I am planning on extending the Funge specification and making `enhancements' to this language, which I feel is a very novel language indeed. If anyone is interested in the source please contact me, but I am warning you, my code is not the nicest or the fastest, but I am glad to take suggestions/patches. Thanks you guys, for making such a great system for me to use, and I anxiously await any input anyone has in this matter. Thanks, Josh
