My right-handed programming language

The audio coming from the right earphone is very clever.

[@strager_]

Oh, thanks for letting me know! I didn't notice. I have single-sided deafness.

[@quexpix]

@@strager_ Another coke spillage incident?

[@fallenflame8678]

omg I thought my left earphone broke!

[@drtitus]

I also thought it was intentional!

[@RexPerfection]

i cant watch the video because my phones right speaker and ear speaker are busted 💀

[@r33gg]

Now we just need a left handed language, so I can multi-task.

[@newmonengineering]

You can copy and paste with control insert and shift insert and cut with shift delete. I use them on my right hand all the time.

[@candyczar]

This is amazing 😂 TIL you can use regex in shell paths/command names as well. Off-topic but someone could make a shell that disallows specified characters, then somehow force ThePrimagen to use it for a stream since he loves regex so much 😏

[@strager_]

I don't think ThePrimeagen is man enough to accept such a challenge.

[@daleryanaldover6545]

Somebody should bring ThePrimeagen here.

[@quexpix]

It's shell pattern matching, not regex. They're quite different - for example, ? in the shell matches a single char, where in regex you would use . But character sets like [hjkl] or [^hjkl] are the same. Of course the character set techniques used here are reliant on there not being any non-standard binaries that would also match. If you have /usr/bin/fusl or /bin/uh you may have trouble installing...

[@asailijhijr]

​@@quexpix if there are multiple matching paths, wouldn't it install separately in each of them?

[@casperes0912]

Reading /?in was cursed and it took me way too long to realise that I should be reading it as regex - I still can't comprehend that you also just reg-exes open vscode. Just knowing enough about what's in your /usr/bin to know which characters to exclude to open code is madness

[@strager_]

It took me a few tries. 😉

[@sourestcake]

@@strager_ You could use the echo clone to validate that, right? Because wildcards are expanded by the shell.

[@renx81]

This is hilarious and your deadpan delivery is awesome.

[@gjperso76]

Very intuitive, can't believe you're the first one doing this.

[@jamessteiner5023]

Missed opportunity to use "" for not equal as in math and BASIC and others

[@strager_]

D'oh! Good idea.

[@asailijhijr]

Is math the name of a language I'm not familiar with? Your algebra teacher accepts "" (without quotes) as inequality? I've seen it used in excel and sheets.

[@MaxCoplan]

I really enjoy programming in yuiop because it leaves my other hand free to massage some of that coconut oil

[@davidprock904]

Only a fellow Lefty would think of this for a reply

[@HerrSnooze]

Hilarious🤣 Subscribed. I love the content mix of technical deep dives and dev comedy

[@strager_]

Right-handedness is no joke.

[@BogoblinGamer]

If you did want to copy and paste, you can use ctrl+insert and shift+insert

[@Yadobler]

If you use vim, then you only need y and p. yy to yank line p to paste "+yy and" +p to yank and paste to system keyboard hjkl to move around i to go to insert mode o to insert one line above / to search n/N to go next / prev search as your leader key then remap any left side keymaps to the right side The only problem is having to remap to something on the right

[@BogoblinGamer]

@@Yadobler The problem with using vim is that you can't :wq

[@AK-vx4dy]

Genius. Simply genius!

[@Yadobler]

If you use vim, then you only need y and p. yy to yank line p to paste "+yy and" +p to yank and paste to system keyboard hjkl to move around i to go to insert mode o to insert one line above / to search n/N to go next / prev search as your leader key then remap any left side keymaps to the right side The only problem is having to remap to something on the right

[@strager_]

Does yy work on Stack Overflow? 'Cus that's where I get all my code from.

[@strager_]

(I should upgrade to GitHub StealPilot.)

[@Yadobler]

that depends on how you're accessing stack overflow. If you're using some vim-plugin for Firefox then maybe hmhmhmmhmhhmh Else :((((( But if you copied the code somehow, then pasting in vim is just "+p

[@bartek...]

how you will open VIM without V

[@lhpl]

Escape would be ctrl-[ (and Tab - good for completion - is ctrl-I), so if you have a right side ctrl key, it should help a lot.

[@technomunk]

I am definitely aliasing strings as "yoyo"s from this day forth

[@yihan4835]

Typing out /usr/bin/curl with regex is so funny.

[@superspartanman4480]

You make the best videos

[@andreasvogt8125]

This video just made my day 😂 thx

[@mldy1]

literally thought my ear phones were broken had stroke when i read the "interpreter" source

[@onepunchben]

This is a lot of fun.

[@traywor1615]

That's amazing!! When is a sister version project coming out? I'd love to only use my left hand. This would mean no more switching between my mouse and my keyboard, I could use those in parallel!!!! The obvious issue is a missing newline statement. However with ctrl c and ctrl v available, we could just misuse this feature as a glorified carriage return.

[@strager_]

I'm not left-handed, so I'm not qualified to make a left-handed coding language. > The obvious issue is a missing newline statement. I guess you could insert spaces until you wrap to the next line.

[@asailijhijr]

Just teach yourself to use your mouse with your left hand, then you can use yuiop and never take your hand off the mouse.

[@electra_]

Gotta make a command-line that registers all left-handed inputs on the left window and right-handed inputs on the right window, so you can code in QWERT and YUIOP simultaneously ever seen those hacking scenes in movies where they pull up a second keyboard? Morons.

[@janpoonthong]

Awesome

[@wChris_]

unfortunately i canot use yuiop as the y key and the z key are swapped on my keyboard as well as many if not all of the special characters! Also this video was probably released a month to early! Today would have been a good day to release this video.

[@strager_]

langjam wasn't in April this year. =[

[@RigelOrionBeta]

Real men use right hand on keyboard, left hand on mouse, copy pasting every left side keyboard letter individually from a text bufffer and pasting it.

[@spacelem]

*cries* in Colemak-DH.

[@codingfeature3684]

I love this humor.

[@strager_]

There's nothing funny about losing your left hand. 🥺

[@MrMrCraftmine]

Which font is that? Comic Code?

[@strager_]

Yes! tosche.net/fonts/comic-code

[@WilliametcCook]

Can’t say I’ve made a language where I’d rather print my error message using Brain++++

[@SoI-]

can you make a version that isnt solely on the right audio channel?

[@strager_]

My Windows Movie Maker license expired, so no. 😭

[@SoI-]

@@strager_ sad

[@rexoverwatch]

finally

[@Europeanslave]

Good

[@johnk3841]

can you also do one for lefties

[@strager_]

Good idea! Alas, I am right-handed. I think another programmer would need to take on this task.

[@renx81]

@@strager_ That's like saying only handicapped people should write accessibility code. You're just lazy, aren't you?

[@codingjerk]

​@@strager_ I'm right-handed, but I use my left hand more while I'm coding because I've rebinded "hjkl" hotkeys in vim to "wasd" and I love it. With your language I can use left hand for navigation and right hand for writing code. What's awesome

[@nathancurnow2410]

This is such a stupid idea. I love it!

[@CrapE_DM]

You can use =/= for not equals

[@strager_]

smart

[@asailijhijr]

Some dyslexics can't tell their left hand from their right hand, there's a joke here, but it might be offensive.

[@strager_]

All jokes are offensive.

[@limitlessshit]

Wait bruh even this video is in single channel sound??

[@moumous87]

Question: what are you doing with your left hand?😳🙈

[@strager_]

That's personal business.

[@EuclidesFRezende]

Only the right side of the sound are present. No Stereo...

[@HIRVIism]

Huh, why do you think that might be :)

[@zoenagy9458]

no ctrl C :D

[@vicverstraete9492]

When left handed keywords are DREADED and FEARED.

[@gandalfgrey91]

What a nightmare

[@probablyarth837]

luckily we have access to arrow keys 🤣

[@user-zu1ix3yq2w]

But strager, I'm left-handed.

[@strager_]

Sorry. Not all programming languages are good for all types of programmers.

[@neolynxer]

"hello world" != "hllo, you" Please write a valid "hello, world" in yuiop.

[@strager_]

Patches welcome!

[@k98killer]

This is maximim gimmick

[@floenele8892]

Great. unfortunately, colemak

[@davidprock904]

Switch back and forth between Dvorak and QWERTY to cheat. Outside of a funny challenge, this is lame, sorry

[@strager_]

Oh, I didn't consider that somebody might cheat!
