For tiny programs you could just swap between compiled binary & ascii hex

you can almost do exactly that with interpreted languages.

You can do that by writing your program in machine code. Actually, a program in itself is its source code in machine code.
But trust me, you don't want to do this. It was manageable with simple processors like a 6502, but not anymore.

However, there are these things called interpreters who can translate textual source code into instructions without the need of a compiler.
Javascript for example, is routinely interpreted by your browser each times to load a Veeky Forums thread. Interpreters often translates statements like (function(a, b){ return a + b;})(1, 3); into some bytecode used by a virtual machine.
So, your friend would just need the virtual machine and interpreter to execute an interpreted language, like JS, Python, Lisp, etc.

The problem with interpreters is that they are way slower than compiled programs. This is the reason why you can't run Street Fighter V on your browser.
They are also JIT compilers, a kind of mix between interpreters and compilers who generate faster code while still maintaining the ability to execute code on the fly most of the time. But these things are way more complex to create.

If you are using a Unix-like OS, you generally just have to use make or something.
If the compilation fails, it means you need to install a library.
If you are using Windows, well, you are using an not-programmer friendly OS, so I can't help you, but you can get Unix-style tools with MSYS, Cygwin and so on.

haskell is typically compiled with ghc (but it can of course be interpreted)

Python is almost like pseudocode anyway

I don't get this meme, sure it's easy to print and take input but doing anything meaningful means using libraries with shitty syntax anyway.

so many safety concerns with this

python looks almost exactly like C.. naturally since it's built with C.

>If you are using a Unix-like OS, you generally just have to use make or something.
as a result of this i can only figure out how to compile shit in linux and not in a non-autistic os but i cant figure out how to do anything but compile code in linux because its for autistic nerds, so i have to dual boot.

compiler flags that tell the compiler what os and/or what hardware and/or what libraries to use.
that's the whole point of using a makefile.

minigw or cygwin will do that for you for compiling on windows.

(or compiling for windows on linux)
ie cross-compiling

as long as you write the program using libraries that are ported to windows it wont be an issue linking them.

>python looks almost exactly like C since it's built with C.
Bullshit. Many Lisp, Smalltalk and Forth implementations are coded in C, and all these these languages look nothing like C.
Also, Python was more influenced by ABC, a language who was intended to replace things like BASIC, than C.

Because it has a pretty simple syntax, dynamic typing and don't use braces for code blocks. It kinda looks like pseudocode when you are just writing a simple algorithm, not OOP.
That said, pseudocode can take many forms. My algorithms professor made us write stuff in some sort of Pascal-like pseudocode

You can totally do this, OP. Just not in C++, because C++ is not designed for this workflow.

Python literally looks exactly like C without brackets and initializing main function. They are both easily readable. I'd argue python 3 is even more nonintuitive than C.

Calling it psuedocode is fucking retarded

it's not pythons fault that it's a well designed language, for what it's intended for.

>lisp
>interpreted
repl ≠ interpreted

>Python literally looks exactly like C without brackets and initializing main function.
Does this looks like C to you ?
>filter(lambda x: (x ** 2) % 7 is 0, [a + b for a in range(10, 30) for b in range(9, 140, 20)])

Of course, it's an ALGOL-like language and Guido van Rossum wanted to make "a descendant of ABC that would appeal to Unix/C hackers", but saying it looks exactly like it is far-stretched.
Look at the ABC Wikipedia page and you will see the obvious affiliation.
Btw, Javascript looks more like C than Python.

>retarded normies don't know about compilers or interpreted languages

PowerShell, Python... The lines between scripting language and programming language started to blur for me around 4 years ago. Compiled code has its purposes and evolved out a less technically advanced time in computer science history. Calm the fuck down. It'll get better for normies. Pretty soon, you'll only have to press colorful buttons or stack differently shaped holographic blocks to create complex applications. Pic related. Your toolset for you dream job OP.

Clojure is the only contemporary Lisp dialect that I can think of that isn't interpreted, since it's compiled to JVM bytecode.
SBCL, Racket, Emacs Lisp and most Scheme implementations can all run interpreted code in their REPL along with compiled code IIRC.

Compiled languages are still essential for large applications. Compiled and interpreted can exist in harmony as they are applicable for different tasks.

you can do things like that pretty easily

How would you do it back in 1987?

Yeah well why doesnt some nerd then make a program that

Luckily, this causes the tech to evolve through natural/artificial selection and Miguel will eventually be out of the job.

You're a fucking retard kek. You don't even know what you're saying, saving a notepad document as .exe doesn't do anything. You need to compile the code into assembly that the computer can actually understand.

>Parsing english is hard for the computer.

what does that even mean?

SBCL compiles all your functions on the fly. You can even look at x86 disassembly in repl.

You can't just shout at transistors.

>what does that even mean?

In simple terms, parsing means taking text and then converting that text into a structure that can be interpreted.

Compilers take code (text) and turn them into programs (binary).

But it is really hard to write a program that takes in a sentence and is able to interpret it.

I think it's more like, most sentences spoken in English don't contain enough logic for a computer to make a computer program out of. We automatically fill in the blanks in the missing logic, using ourselves as reference/models. Since all humans are the same, (same reference model) the system works out pretty well for us, tho the system does break down with major cultural differences, even when speaking the same language.

For a computer program to be able to parse human speech into a program, it would need to think like us. (or we would need to think like it) This would be the equivalent of a strong AI. This also means that if a strong AI already exists, in order for it to keep understanding humans and be able to relate to them, it must continue to think like humans, and not improve itself too much or exceed human capabilities too far. Or it could advance all humans along with itself, if it wanted to continue to be able to be able to relate to humans that is.

>We automatically fill in the blanks in the missing logic

This is not an argument because this is something that computers do for programming languages.

In the past, when you wanted to declare anything you had to be very specific about what it was. If you wanted a number then you had to say
int x;

But now you can be ambigious. You can declare an arbitrary variable like:
var x;
or
auto x; (in C++)

and then compilers or interpreters use the context that variable exists in to figure out what type it corresponds to.

The same could be done with speech. But we still don't understand the underlying data structure our brain uses to understand english. If we did then filling the blanks would be a trivial exercise left for the reader.

this is really more of a /g/ thing

>This also means that if a strong AI already exists, in order for it to keep understanding humans and be able to relate to them, it must continue to think like humans, and not improve itself too much or exceed human capabilities too far.

I know the feeling. I often have a very hard time communicating with Trumptards because they are just so stupid.

It is the world we are transitioning to. Most things can be condensed to a simple 'click-then-result' if you have sufficient understanding. Providing that understanding to computers requires us to understand a fundamental approach to knowledge so said computer could generate a solution for the 'base' human experience.

Computer geeks do not intentionally make things hard for normies. In fact the most evolutionary leaps in society's acceptance of technology have come from small technical teams (WhatsApp is a good example). The trouble is the existing economic system that actively provides incentives for complexity, not simplicity. If a computer geek makes it too simple, then he puts his friend computer geek (or themselves) out of a job.

>not recognizing that python is technically a list variant

>If a computer geek makes it too simple, then he puts his friend computer geek (or themselves) out of a job.

Speaking of which, the open source movement is starting to bite programmers in the ass.

A full stack solution can be created in a day with all of this cool open source tech.

"scripting language" is a description of typical use, not of the innate capabilities or features of the language

you can write a script perfectly well in any compiled language

>programming is so easy, I can learn it in one weekend. CS cucks BTFO

Naturally spoken languages are not regular languages. Irregular languages are nearly impossible to parse with any degree of reliability.

It is actually quite simple if you have a baseline of wanting to parse 'language' into simple concepts such as food/shelter/housing and a few other adjectives/verbs. With 7 billion people, all with the same 'core' desires (or at least a core from which all variants stem) then you can achieve what you want.

I really don't think C++ and C# type inference can be compared to the inference in speech/text. They are VERY strict and simplistic in regards of when you can omit the type.

you have absolutely no idea what you're taking about.

Thats the fault of the programmer. There is nothing inherently impossible about parsing "irregular" language.

If you mean words with multiple meanings changing with context and time as culture changes, there is simply no reason we cant program and reprogram to match the specific slang which is to be interpreted. You would just need to do some sort of census on slang.

Which is why parsing English and parsing irregular language are two entirely different things. If you are commanding a computer, there is literally no reason to use irregular language, but you could still talk in English, just stick to fundamentals.

Speaker does not seek clarifying question/answer, only to impose internal logic on listener. Conclusion: You enjoy spouting unsubstantiated claims that do not further discussion.

Not that hard.

>Which is why parsing English and parsing irregular language are two entirely different things. If you are commanding a computer, there is literally no reason to use irregular language, but you could still talk in English, just stick to fundamentals.

Let this be an example of why I hate most computer science engineers.

Please read up on the basic theory of what you're talking about before you attempt to speak authoritatively on it.

ASM > c/++

>Why is this not the world we live in?
It is, you can link him an exe or send an email attachment.

Also we call this program you are most likely referring to, a 'virus'.

Also your friend's computer will consider it a virus if he doesn't think it is one.

Also
>exe
your friend might not even be using windows
Why not just give him the source, he's your 'friend' right?

>See my friend
>Open my mouth
>Speak in BareBones
>He does what I say

Why isn't this the world we live in?

OP's point is that all programs should run safely. He doesn't know that he should be attacking OS designers rather than PL designers.

It would work if you wrote the program in python(or any other intepreted language) and you saved it is a .py.
Or you could just complile it yourself and then send it.
Or your friend could just run g++ program.exe himself and then use it.

What exactly is your problem?

it's more of a case that he has to compile the code before it can run.

there's no way a computer can understand
printf("You're a faggot\n"); without something to translate it.

And computer, who opens up a notepad file, cannot use his 5 billion commands per second processor, and 1000 GB memory,

cannot notice that the notepad is written in programming language. Amazing. Like I can't even code and I do your job better than you.

Seriously just tell the computer to read up few lines from that notepad, determine it's C and run it. You are so god damn useless.

HolyC is JIT and can be run at the command line.
