I read a post about converting base 10 to hex.
Dominique wrote a bash script to do it
I thought I'd try Whitespace for this task (for fun)
It wasn't too hard (assuming using WS assembler is allowed)
If I post the code here, oops, you wouldn't see much because it's all white space.
But hold on a moment there.
You may be thinking this:
"Funny looking text in this post..."
Or your client might tidy up:
if so,
try telling your client to show the raw gemtext without rendering it and then you might see what's odd about it.
So actually I did post Whitespace
This post is the code.
In this language any non white space characters are comments, or in this case, a gemlog post
The same text is performing two functions, which is pleasing. I can't control where the line breaks (and hence paragraphs) go because that's white space and I have to leave that wherever it's been put.
And I can't be bothered to fill in
all the lines so there's lots of "nothing" below.
