5758 :: Write Nim by using only 'v'

• belamenso (orginal) [2019-12-31T19:19:06+01:00] view original

  Hi, I've made a simple library allowing you to express any Nim code using only 'v' and whitespace. ASCII art possibilities are not yet fully explored.

  This code prints "Hello 🌎!":

  import v
  
  vvvv vvvv vvvvv vvvv vvvv vvv vvvv vvvvv vvv vvvvv v vvvvv vv
  v vvv vvv vvvv v vvvv vvvv vvvvv vvvvv v vv vvvvv v vv vvvvv
  v vvvvv vv v v vvvvvvvvvv vv vvvv vvvvvvv v vvv vvvvvv vv vvvv
  vvvvvv vvv v vv v vv vv v vvv v v vvvv v v vvvv
  Run

  This is great! No inconsistencies in the resulting language, pure perfection. There is nothing to be "confused" about! Just spaces and 'v', the ultimate simplicity!

  Nope, I dont really think its a joke. I dont think its has any purpose either. I like power of macros, introspection of code etc as much as next man but I'd rather like to see more useful thing, anything.

  vlang's designer must be kicking himself for not coming up with this solution.

  There is also https://github.com/xoreaxeaxeax/movfuscator which shows how far you can take "branch-free" code. Super easy control flow graphs, if you like "early returns in order to avoid nesting", you'll love mov-only code.
