I really doubt that isaacg1 will implement a random list of suggestions without any motivation why they should be implemented. It's not the goal of Pyth to have a token for every possible scenario.

jakobkogler commented 5 years ago

Also, some things are already pretty short in Pyth, GCD with i, Truthy/Falsy evaluation with !!, simple replace with X, regex replace with :.

@jakobkogler It would be great to see optimizations that understand where these "less used" functions are coming from.

jakobkogler commented 5 years ago

I wrote you earlier, because I wanted to avoid that you are doing a lot of hard work for nothing. I really doubt that these lists will be useful.

E.g. look at #224, has any of these suggestions been implemented?
