"Malbolge was very difficult to understand when it arrived, taking two years for the first Malbolge program to appear. The author himself has never written a Malbolge program. The first program was not written by a human being; it was generated by a beam search algorithm designed by Andrew Cooke and implemented in Lisp."

All right, WHAT THE FUCK

In the soap opera General Hospital, Colonel Sanders of KFC makes a guest appearance because someone is trying to kill him to obtain the secret recipe of 11 herbs and spices. He knows Malbolge and is able to disarm the destruct sequence.

… I… what?

Well, I wasn’t kidding, but I put about a 50% chance that someone had just vandalized the wiki page…

That soap opera apparently has 15000 episodes and has been airing since 1963....

So you're saying that might not even be the craziest episode?

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago

The chance of that is definitely not negligible

This is peak programming. That's it. It's done. We can pack up and go home now.

Sounds like Javascript and co-pilot to me.
