Talk:Foobar and Foobaz and Barbaz, oh my!

This is a funny little language :) A couple of questions:

1. Do statements have to be terminated by EOLs, or is whitespace sufficient?
2. I don't see how you can access memory other than the 4 variables. What am I missing?
3. Is there an implementation on the way?

(I changed those bullets to numbers.)

1. Whitespace is sufficient to separate anything, so it should be fine.
2. Only those 4 variables are accessible: you have to pack as much punch as you can into those.
3. Probably not by me. I'm too lazy to grab a compiler and put one together :-)

2. The article says a programmer can have as much memory as he/she wants. I don't see how that can be done with only 4 variables. Or are the "variables" something more than plain integers? --Rune 04:55, 12 Nov 2005 (GMT)

They're unbounded integers. --Ihope127 17:12, 12 Nov 2005 (GMT)

Ah, I see. That makes it incredibly hard to use though, but that is probably the point :) --Rune 01:18, 13 Nov 2005 (GMT)

Yep. The only way to test a number is to mask it and jump. --Ihope127 15:36, 13 Nov 2005 (GMT)

Is this language a joke language or not? You seem to say that it is theoretically usable. Should it be moved to the language list? --Ørjan 00:25, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

Hmmm, some joke languages are usable for programming. In this case it (joke language) seems more to describe the nature of this language. Let its inventor decide. :) --Keymaker 09:46, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

Experimental implementation

I wrote an experimental implementation at http://esoteric.voxelperfect.net/wiki/User:Sgeo/ffbimp
