I was looking at code.golf the other day and I wondered which languages were the least verbose, so I did a little data gathering.
I looked at 48 different languages that had completed 79 different code challenges on code.golf. I then gathered the results for each language and challenge. If a "golfer" had more than 1 submission to a challenge, I grabbed the most recent one. I then dropped the top 5% and bottom 5% to hopefully mitigate most outliers. Then came up with an average for each language, for each challenge. I then averaged the results across each language and that is what you see here.
For another perspective, I ranked each challenge then got the average ranking across all challenges. Below is the results of that.
Disclaimer: This is in no way scientific. It's just for fun. If you know of a better way to sort these results please let me know.
Just gonna drop by to say that I love Crystal
How is it's current state for building windows binaries? As a game dev who wants to fiddle with doing "everything from scratch" at least once, Crystal always seemed extremely enticing, the syntax more so than Nim
I'm unsure sorry, I've only ever used it on Linux.
Functional but missing a couple of features
make sure you're following !crystal_lang@lemmy.ml
Are you using it for scientific stuff? Are you doing Crystal Math? (/s)
