Need the LOLCODE language about quine-relay HOT 7 CLOSED

Yes you're right. It is far from complete.

I picked the fifty languages that I can install easily on Ubuntu. I wish Ubuntu would provide Befunge, Lazy K, Piet, etc etc. (Unlambda and Whitespace had been also provided when I had written the old version of Quine relay, but unfortunately they were deleted.)
So, I'd like you to become a Debian or Ubuntu developer and provide the interpreters. Then I can support them easily.

Alternative: give me a complete and small (up to about 100 lines) implementation written in Ruby, like unlambda.rb and whitespace.rb.

Incidentally, there is no reason that Erlang and PostScript are not included. It is just an accident.

http://lolcode.org/ Has an ANSI C based interpreter. A deb might be able to be packaged up for it.

Arch has lolcode interpreter aur/lci-git 20110725-1. We need to check LOLCODE's support for strings.

I was thinking of Rust, but Ubuntu doesn't provide compilers in alpha.

Edit: long strings work, but double quotes can't be escaped. Next language is Lua, so " must be escaped to eg. c=string.char(34)

Edit: also need befunge language implementation

@pczarn Actually LOLCODE has the escape character. It is not backslash but colon, though.

"foo:"bar:)baz" in LOLCODE  =  "foo\"bar\nbaz" in C

The following CodeGen will work. However, the code spills from the template. We need to make the template bigger or the code smaller.

class LOLCODE < CodeGen
  File = "QR.lol"
  Cmd = "/path/to/lci QR.lol > OUTFILE"
  Apt = [nil]
  Code = %q(%(hai 1.2\nvisible "_"\nkthxbye).upcase.gsub("_"){PREV.gsub(/[:"\n]/,?:=>'::',?"=>':"',?\n=>":\x29")})
end

I found some bytes to throw out.

from quine-relay.

class Awk_Befunge < CodeGen
  File = ["QR.awk", "QR.bef"]
  Cmd = ["awk -f QR.awk > OUTFILE", "/tmp/cfunge-0.9.0/build/cfunge QR.bef > OUTFILE"]
  Apt = ["gawk", nil]
  Code = %q(%(BEGIN{s=#{E[D[PREV,?!]]};gsub(/!/,"\\\\\\\\",s);gsub(/./,"\\\\"&\\\\",",s);gsub(/"""/,"75*1-"
,s);print s,"@"}))
end

I approve.
