This shouldn't be on here. The wiki is for languages, not ideas people posted to the mailing list and abandoned. --User:Graue

Note that the original message to the list says it's "tentatively titled", that as several people point out the looping construct is broken and makes half the code unreachable, and that Cliff later on says the construct is "likely to change." I know you'll argue with this because you love to argue about things, but I don't want to argue -- it's an unfinished idea and it doesn't belong here, period. If you like the idea, make an actual language based on similar principles. I'm going to leave this here long enough for people to see this message, then I'm going to delete the article. --Graue 01:00, 20 Nov 2005 (GMT)

I don't see how this language (yes, I do consider it a language!) is any less appropriate for this wiki than a bunch of the other Brainfuck clones. There are not so many esoteric languages that we need to be selective. I also wish that you would moderate your hostile tone a bit so you don't drive people away from the wiki (which I fear has already happened with Stux). The esoteric community is quite small, and we don't need a fragmentation. --Rune 01:02, 21 Nov 2005 (GMT)
Indeed - I would have thought that the majorty of the unimplemented languages in the Wiki are 'unfinished ideas', and there are many languages that don't have the power the author intended - consider Graue's own Qdeql language. I also (nervously) agree with Rune's comments about Graue's tone - while Graue tells us to Esolang:Be bold in editing pages and that 'no-one owns the Wiki', he discourages that by reverting grammatical corrections (the whole quotes-and-commas issue) and censuring people for edits of which he does not approve. --Safalra 17:57, 21 Nov 2005 (GMT)
See, this is what I meant -- we love to disagree around here. :) But in this case it's fairly obvious the idea was an unfinished one. I would love to see someone finish it and make a page about the result. Until then, I feel that the best documentation of Cliff's idea is in the list archive itself. However, I'll leave the page for now as it seems several people have failed to be convinced. --Graue 19:28, 23 Nov 2005 (GMT)

Quit being a jerk

I don't really appreciate your attitude. I have put a large amount of work into the wiki categories and articles in the last few days, and all you can do is abuse me and belittle my efforts, whether here or in the channel. You are an abusive and controlling individual, and you seem to have a personal grudge against me. I try to remain polite and work with you, but you are obviously not interested in returning the favor. You'd rather put me down and everything I do... I think you owe me an apology.

Sorry you decided to take my words personally. I have a general distaste for arguing about what I consider to be minutiae -- with you or with anyone. Your contributions and work are great. I don't really know you, so I can't comment on any personal matters. --Graue 19:28, 23 Nov 2005 (GMT)

Maybe you should use the original 7 commands and 1 more command @ which act as the ? in Ihope127 --Zzo38 02:02, 14 Nov 2006 (UTC)
