Apparently, this is the code for a Hello World program in Malbolge:
(=<
#9]~6ZY327Uv4-QsqpMn&+Ij"'E%e{Ab~w=_:]Kw%o44Uqp0/Q?xNvL:
H%c#DD2^WV>gY;dts76qKJImZkjLooks like the backticks in the program messed up the formatting a bit, here’s it with fixed formatting.
(=<`#9]~6ZY327Uv4-QsqpMn&+Ij"'E%e{Ab~w=_:]Kw%o44Uqp0/Q?xNvL:`H%c#DD2^WV>gY;dts76qKJImZkj
Not that it’s any more intelligible. :D
The Base3 arithmetic alone makes me deeply upset
Base36 is where it’s at! Super divisibility, 0-Z keyspace, and “10” is a Square that’s also the product of two squares.
Plus you can count to “40” (144) on your hands!
How do you count in base36 on your hands? I seem to only have 10 (decimal notation) fingers
You can count up to 1023 in base 2 using your fingers to represent 0s and 1s.
In theory yes, in practice…fingers don’t like cooperating with the combinations of bent and up that you can get by doing that
