This is so nuts and pointless... I love it!

The kind of thing no AI would ever come up with :)

Yes, file system metadata takes space. This is so incredibly inefficient.

This is the most truly "WTF is wrong with you" esolang I've ever seen. When I got down to the syntax I imagined the amount of effort it would take to write a single statement and viscerally recoiled.

If you enjoy that, allow me to introduce you to the displeasure of WORST and Malbolge.

They’re both a truly bottomless pit of malaise.

The audacity


This is...beautiful.

Oh, I remember that one from a CTF couple of years ago. Absolutely hilarious!

Reading the title I immediately thought of rust

This idea is so good, though
