----------------------------------- Martin Tue Jun 28, 2005 9:40 am Whitespace - The end to code theft ----------------------------------- Are you paranoid that someone will steal your code by looking over your shoulder as you type, or by stealing a printout of your code? Have no more fear, Whitespace is here http://compsoc.dur.ac.uk/whitespace/index.php Below is a sample program: ----------------------------------- Dan Tue Jun 28, 2005 11:37 am ----------------------------------- Wow, just wow................. I love how there hello world progame is like 1 page long. ----------------------------------- brenn Tue Jun 28, 2005 1:04 pm ----------------------------------- ........... XDDDDDDDDDD ----------------------------------- rizzix Wed Jun 29, 2005 2:25 pm ----------------------------------- what a totally useless language.. so it address human to comptuer communication and understanding... but it fails to address human to human communication and understanding... which is also an important part of a programming language.. using that lanugage there is really no way one can figure out whts going on by just looking at it.. some guys seriously have a lot of time on their hands.. :? ----------------------------------- Martin Wed Jun 29, 2005 2:58 pm ----------------------------------- what a totally useless language.. so it address human to comptuer communication and understanding... but it fails to address human to human communication and understanding... which is also an important part of a programming language.. using that lanugage there is really no way one can figure out whts going on by just looking at it.. some guys seriously have a lot of time on their hands.. :? Useless? From the website: What are the advantages of Whitespace? Some things which are difficult in other languages are made much easier in Whitespace. For example, literate programming is simply a matter of writing your helpful comments in between program instructions. It's also easy to encrypt your programs. Simply write a misleading comment! Whitespace is a particularly useful language for spies. Imagine you have a top secret program that you don't want anyone to see. What do you do? Simply print it out and delete the file, ready to type in at a later date. Nobody will know that your blank piece of paper is actually vital computer code! Come on Rizzix, get with the program. ----------------------------------- Amailer Wed Jun 29, 2005 3:15 pm ----------------------------------- Useful for spies :lol: spies use such languages to code... o.O lol ----------------------------------- Dan Wed Jun 29, 2005 3:31 pm ----------------------------------- Whitespace is a particularly useful language for spies.

Saves moeny on ink too ;) ----------------------------------- Delos Wed Jun 29, 2005 5:29 pm ----------------------------------- Will someone please think about the trees!!! ----------------------------------- Dan Wed Jun 29, 2005 6:13 pm ----------------------------------- Will someone please think about the trees!!! just make the font realy small u could put all your code on one page, or better yet print over the same page over and over to make it even harder to read. ----------------------------------- Martin Wed Jun 29, 2005 7:20 pm ----------------------------------- Dan...are you a spy? ----------------------------------- Dan Thu Jun 30, 2005 12:10 am ----------------------------------- Dan...are you a spy? :shifty: No............who toald you such a thing............realy who? tell me now so they can be.......ummm.....just no. And my spelling has nothing to do with the fact it makes it harder to sreach throw with a sreach bot......stoping looking at me like that!!!!! ----------------------------------- md Thu Jun 30, 2005 11:20 am ----------------------------------- Aha! I knew it! Dan's just a spy trying to steal all of the (good) programs he can! That's why he started compsci see! As for the language... I think it's probably on par with brainfuck for um... interestingness ----------------------------------- Martin Thu Jun 30, 2005 11:34 am ----------------------------------- It's written in Haskell, so the default integer is unfixed length. Play with the factorial program.
