Include TεX in the loop #106

Closed FrnchFrgg closed 3 years ago

FrnchFrgg commented 3 years ago

I find it very strange that no implementation of TεX got involved, since people seem to love using TεX in non-intended ways. It is easily available in Ubuntu through texlive, of course.

If I have the time (not likely soon, sadly) I might try to submit a PR to fit it between tcsh and Thue.

Thank you for the suggestion. In fact, I tried adding TeX once. I might be wrong, but as far as I investigated TeX previously, it seemed impossible to print an arbitrary string to stdout. So closing this issue temporarily, but if possible, a pull request is really welcome.

You can open any file for input or output. If stdout is a hard requirement, that would be hard indeed to prevent the standard TεX boiler plate to print.
