Talk:NANDlang

hi! you should read Esolang:Help to learn how to fo formatting --dragoneater67 talk contribs (mobile) 02:51, 9 September 2026 (UTC)

also, the hum0r makes it hard to read & understand the page, this wiki is primarily documenting for esolangs, if you wanna be funny, the hum0r must be in the esolang itself, and not in the page that documents the esolang --dragoneater67 talk contribs (mobile) 04:17, 9 September 2026 (UTC)

I get it, but honestly it's supposed to be the charm. It's supposed to be a bit hard to read. I was wanting it to be edutainment. I did made the lists a good bit clear. It does show actual code, and it does show the rules a bit clearly. I do understand your point, I respect the opinion, but honestly, there isn't really in my opinion, a way to make it keep it's ADHD Huggbees-inspired style. -- A random guy contribs 05:08, 9 September 2026 (UTC)

i think that wiki pages shouldnt have any charm in them --dragoneater67 talk contribs (mobile) 05:59, 9 September 2026 (UTC)

Why do you think so? There is plenty of pages with their own personality and charm to them. Why can’t this one be the same? It would be fun to read. It would make this site boring if we make it like Wikipedia where everything has to just be all non-humorous, when the Esolang Wiki’s purpose is to not be like that.-- A random guy contribs 12:40 PM, 9 September 2026 (UTC)

my point is that the pages themselves should be boring, so that all of the attention is on the esolang, which can be quite funny (an example is ඞlang the page itself doesnt contain any hum0r, but the underlying language is funny due to the funny unicode character) --dragoneater67 talk contribs 12:53, 9 September 2026 (UTC)

What if for example, it is mainly still focused on the esolang but it still has funny lines of text? Like I said, being edutainment? Take Huggbees for example. If you know who he is, he is a guy that makes videos that make a clear line between humor and facts. Especially his videos about unusual deaths, they both have humor and facts. I honestly would say that as long as the page is still mostly about the esolang, it should be fine. Plus I like giving people a good chuckle by describing things in a absurd way.-- A random guy contribs (mobile) 1:25 PM, 9 September 2026 (UTC)

i doubt that this wiki is a good place for giving people a good chuckle by describing things in a absurd way, it should be done somewhere else, like, a personal website --dragoneater67 talk contribs (mobile) 13:43, 9 September 2026 (UTC)

Well, honestly, you do you man. If you disagree with me, that’s alright man. I just think the page is good the way it is because to me, it feels better the way it is than if it was just bland. I believe that edutainment is a good way to learn but others learn in different ways. Also I am currently at school so… I will have some delay in responses. -- A random guy contribs 2:25 PM, 9 September 2026 (UTC)

fine, i wont try to change your opinion, neither should you try to change my opinion --dragoneater67 talk contribs 14:34, 9 September 2026 (UTC)

Nice. 😎👍 -- A random guy contribs 3:07 PM 9 September 2026 (UTC)

to add to dragoneater67's point, the wiki is alike an encyclopedia and nothing like a blog or forum; the funny comments could be counterproductive if someone was expecting a neutral boring article as with how a majority of the other articles are —aadenboy (talk|contribs) 17:56, 9 September 2026 (UTC)

I thought we were done with this? Me and dragoneater67 just agreed to disagree bro. -- A random guy contribs 6:15, PM 9 September 2026 (UTC)

me personally I hate fun so I agree —aadenboy (talk|contribs) 06:01, 9 September 2026 (UTC)

Also I am gonna go to sleep soon anyway. -- A random guy contribs 05:08, 9 September 2026 (UTC)

Holy shit I might need to make a new page for the Hello World Program for this esolang, as having to do 1,350 NAND gates with 65,956 wires. I did legit calculate this. -- A random guy contribs 09:25 PM, 10 September 2026 (UTC)

In that case, you should make the page name something like "NANDlang/Hello, world!" like the other big programs like SELECT./99 bottles and use Template:Back ——【raiseafloppafan7741 kausapin mo ako【past life・投稿】【▼(°v°)▼・▼(°ʌ°)▼】【overlong signature】】 21:28, 10 September 2026 (UTC)

It's incredible that I even have the things necessary for making this. Honestly this is one of the worst esolangs to program in, as I have proven by how absurdly long Hello World is lol.-- A random guy contribs 09:32 PM, 10 September 2026 (UTC)

Wait how do I modify the template? I am a still a bit of a newbie to formatting despite knowing da basics. -- A random guycontribs 09:35 PM, 10 September 2026 (UTC)

I'm assuming you're talking about Template:Back, just do {{Back|Page you want to go back to}} (without the nowiki or code tags you see in the source) ——【raiseafloppafan7741 kausapin mo ako【past life・投稿】【▼(°v°)▼・▼(°ʌ°)▼】【overlong signature】】 21:37, 10 September 2026 (UTC)

I just made it, though it will stay the way it is for a while due to how complicated this will be. I am actually going to dedicate my time to constructing this and rewiring gates. The 16 to 1 multiplexers are the entire reason why Hello World is as complicated as it is. The 4 Bit Counter should be easy. I will make a variation of NANDlang called NANDlang+ that actually is Turing Complete, and I know exactly how to do it.-- A random guycontribs 10:47 PM, 10 September 2026 (UTC)
