The programming language jam has officially ended. A thanks to all those who participated. We received a total of 116 submissions! That's how many new programming languages you can now look ahead to seeing more of!
Now that the jam has ended. Here is the criteria that your submissions will be judged upon:
- Freshness : How novel is the idea behind the language? (This holds the most weight while the rest hold equal weight.)
- Value : How useful could this language be?
- Polish : How polished is the language?
- Technical : Technical difficulty, how interesting is the language for a new learner?
Note : Any changes made after the jam was over i.e. after 00:00 of Sept 1, 2020 will not be taken into account while judging.
There will be a category winner for each of the above and then there will be an overall winner who will get the 10k USD grant.
UPDATE : Sorry for the prolonged silence, there were some complication during the judging, thanks for being patient with us!
Also, thanks again for being a part of this jam and hope to see your future endeavors as well.
I am going to learn the language that wins.

@isaiah08 same!
@HENRYMARTIN4 WHAT IS THIS NUMBER "6" YOU SPEAK OF
(had to keep the base5 joke going :D)
@HENRYMARTIN4 me seven an eight and nine, maybe 10, but of course, 11
UwU I'm gonna act like i will learn this language! Not really...
@isaiah08 Me 1001
I think im 1010 [binary]
@isaiah08 me 100
me 999 ∞th
me ∞th
me never @KimiTian08
me which number we on [email protected]
1330 in base 9 @CuriousMonkey
@CuriousMonkey We are on the number at;oaiyqew6no[5973qn0b73]42=047n2-03574b08b71=741N29408BV9NQ835WЕYASDIRY3QUIWY582397er vsiuertn o9eir.
base ascii(92) @firefish
@CuriousMonkey BAse ascii is base 127, thank you
no that in python and stuf im talking about c @firefish
@CuriousMonkey I am talking c, here is an ascii table to decimal
@CuriousMonkey ascii is the same in every lang kek
rly i thought python had like ten million or something for emojis and chineese characters @sugarfi
@CuriousMonkey that's unicode, not ascii... c can do that as well
@isaiah08 Maybe, if it’s good
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOFFFFFFFF @sugarfi
I am so nervous
Good luck go anyone!
By any chance, could the "polish" category be relative to the time spent? Rex isn't too polished because we only had 10 days and didn't have all day each day, so we don't have OOP finished in it and don't have closures or proper data types yet.
@HahaYes @AmazingMech2418 That would seem reasonable, obviously a quickly-made language won't be as polished as one that took a year
Mr.H When are the possible dates that we will know our score? (Oof grammar)
@HahaYes HahaNo he'll never tell you
apparantly it will take about a month
@k9chelsea2 yeah thats what I was thinking
apparently more, as they have not finished half of them yet @k9chelsea2
@notIurii Hmmmmm evidence?
Check threads here, there is a question I asked about it @HahaYes
Guess what guys? I managed to get a leakage of the language which won. The language is English...
lol
the language is english
@JosephSanthosh
Yea it is english, technically. @Leroy01010
and guess what!! @JosephSanthosh
it's a coding language!! @JosephSanthosh
Yea it is the language of the coding language. @Leroy01010
it's made of the the very historic language called english...
3 hours later
ok class let me talk to you about old english
world: don't even say a word!!!! @JosephSanthosh
Haha lol! @Leroy01010
Some submissions weren't based on the English language 😅 @JosephSanthosh
smh... All the programming languages has to be in english, and english is a language, so technically the winning language is ENGLISH. Yay! @kshncodes
@JosephSanthosh well, this rules out something. There are plenty of localizations that were submitted.
@JosephSanthosh um, no? that isn't a rule...
Haha! Do you not know? All posts in repl.it have to be in English so that it can be reviewed by a mod, therefore all languages need to be in English! @sugarfi
@JosephSanthosh um, there are plenty of languages whose whole premise is not being english that are being accepted and judged fine. Also, google translate exists...
If you can't accept the fact that the posts in repl.it are supposed to be only in English, then please consult with a mod @CodeLongAndPros. @sugarfi
@JosephSanthosh the posts need to be in English but the languages don't. There are languages such as lassi, egua, Swahili that allow people to code in languages other than English (even though the posts were made in English). There's a big difference between them, don't confuse the post to be the same as the code.
@JosephSanthosh the mods obviously allow non-english langs, or else all the non-english langs would have been disqualified...
I am referring the word code with the PL Jam. You have to give a description of your PL and it has to be in English. I am not referring to the general term code, which you confused with. @TheDrone7
English? Oh! You mean python. @JosephSanthosh
word code with the PL Jam
What do you mean by that? I don't understand the difference between the general term "code" and the term "code" in the context of the PL jam.
Well in this context the term 'code' needs to be in English so that the judges can understand what really is going on in their PL. But in the other context of 'code' which everyone uses for their own projects can be in any language as long as the output makes sense. Get what I mean? @fuzzyastrocat
@JosephSanthosh I still don't really understand... many PL's submitted (the PL's themselves, not the posts) are not in English
@JosephSanthosh I know something ground breaking. The language that won.....
Is made.....
with............
suspense continues
dun dun duuuuuuuuuuuuun:
a coding language on repl.it
lol, but I really want to know what woooon! PLEASE!
same here! @redsox2
Any updates on the judging progress?
Have we gotten through half of the languages yet? @notIurii
yes but it's hidden at the moment @notIurii
I AM DYING TO KNOW WHEN THE WINNER IS ANNOUNCED
it will take about a month :(
int score = -2147483649
// minimum value for int: -2147483648
score = 2147483647anyone get that?
@DynamicSquid I use ssize_t instead of int. pgghhg.
USE SIZE_T AND SSIZE_T
Jams were done at 9/1, it is 10/1. I would really like even a mention like "Jugging is hard and is taking awhile" or "Something happened stand by!". Idk give us something.
@Mainmenu someone who uses MM/DD/YYYY instead of DD/MM/YYYY. GET HIM!
@firefish I use MM/DD/YYYY
it's actually my favorite date format
@HarperframeInc But it's not the 10th of march, it's the THIRD OF OCTOBER
@firefish
See? Doesn't DD/MM/YYYY confuse you?
@HarperframeInc No, MM/DD/YYYY confuses me, you small brain
No, MM/DD/YYYY confuses me, you small brain
Oh ho ho...
It's the other way around
@HarperframeInc my mac uses D HH:MMS
@AJDevelopment ew mac user
@firefish ew a person who hates mac
@AJDevelopment ew a person who hates a person who has never even touched a mac in their life except in the shops
@firefish ew a person that doesn't get a joke
An update would be nice. @amasad @TheDrone7
Nice, looking forward to everyone's submissions!
A question: by "changes" do you mean changes to the language or the post? My headers got ruined because repl.it changed their styling after I posted my post. I just fixed it now, but if you're saying that the changes won't be taken into account...
@fuzzyastrocat the language.
@TheDrone7 Ok thanks!
Good luck everyone! May the best lang win :), it was really fun to participate in this.
If I could design a lang fully on my own it would be similar to: https://xkcd.com/2309/
@Codemonkey51 haha xkcd is awesome
Too bad I missed the opportunity to do that. Wait.. CookeyLang Easter egg time @HahaYes
@Codemonkey51 rex easter eggs wait a sec
@Codemonkey51 @HahaYes Time for xkcd lang: combine the above with https://xkcd.com/1537/
Whelp, I got disqualified. Best of luck to everyone else still standing.
what!!! Come on your language was the best @chrisaycock
@Coder100 @chrisaycock Noooooo Empirical was good, well still cool lang — if I ever need something for data science I'll use it :D
HOW MUCH LONGER CAN IT TAKE!!!!!!!!!
about a month :/
😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 @k9chelsea2
well no-one knows for sure
but an estimate of a month :(
Who else used Duolingo to make their language?
Are you serious? @JosephSanthosh
well obviously. @isaiah08
Like Dulingo, the language teaching software? (I do not know many coding terms, is there another meaning?) @JosephSanthosh
It is a software. @isaiah08
oh, ok. :) @JosephSanthosh
@isaiah08 not for pl tho
called a joke @RaidTheWeb
@JosephSanthosh lol ik
(i saw that it was a joke after i posted)
thats cool. @RaidTheWeb
CaN yOu JuSt TeLl Us ThE lAnGuAgE aLrEaDy!!!
UwU I'm gonna act like i will learn this language! Not really... Whatttt
What is everyone's favorite (not including your own if you made one)?
@redsox2
lets go CookieLang!!!
I haven't seen many, but the one that feel is the best is
Aardvark, it is also nice how it is user freindly, they even posted a tutorial on how to add a a function. @fuzzyastrocat @redsox2 @dabs364
@isaiah08 Not trying to brag, but I include how to add an external function in my Curta submission :D
Cool, can you give me the link? @fuzzyastrocat
Thanks! @fuzzyastrocat
When will results be released?
@DavidShen2 We do not have an expected time for the results because we want the judges to take their time exploring each submission and not rush things so everyone gets scored fairly.
cool, but what should be our expectancy (like in a month (haha)?) @TheDrone7
@Coder100 can't say. Am not a judge.
I think my team won the technical: @theamazingplant (1) said:
I am new to this site, and to programming, but this looks like an interesting language.
@hg0428 there are judges...
@hg0428 whew ego moment
@hg0428 It's too soon to tell.
I know, just a joke. It literally says in the post that we need it to be interesting to new users, that person was a new user and said its interesting. @PowerCoder and @HahaYes
@hg0428 What is so cool about your language from technical point of view?
All the features, I really like the syntax. Just that everything works right and that there are so many features I guess. You could ask theamazingplant what they thought was interesting about it.
We have a lot planned for the next version, a lot lot. @notIurii
@hg0428 so? that's just someone something said
I know. @RaidTheWeb
Woah
Good luck to all! And us?
10 YEARS LATER
we haven't got the results yet!
100 YEARS LATER
were almost done
yay
OH NO WE MIXED UP THE RESUTS!
....
PROOF:
@Leroy01010 Jam results prob coming today
Let's hope!
@HahaYes
ye let's hope! @isaiah08
me who was eating the jam: :(
@AJDevelopment What on earth
Any updates? It's almost been a month...
Waiting with bated for the results! Even a small update would be nice.
@AmazingMech2418 Yeah, it is rather annoying
@AmazingMech2418 ree come on any results
@HahaYes reeeeee I had almost forgot about this lol
@AmazingMech2418 https://pl-showcase.thedrone7.repl.co/ found this in @TheDrone7 's profile 😏
@matthewproskils Those aren't the winners. Those are the top in "hot". Seam isn't included since it was botted.
@AmazingMech2418 Oooh. 🤦♂️
@matthewproskils @AmazingMech2418 as the name suggests, that's a showcase not the winners announcement lol.
@TheDrone7 Wow that's a cool showcase, nice job!
@TheDrone7 I know they aren't the winners. (if this sounds like i'm mad, sorry, i didn't mean for it to be) It's just that i think that 's where the updates will most likely be. also, nice website
@fuzzyastrocat @matthewproskils well, you're seeing the incomplete version but thanks anyways lol.
@TheDrone7 Will the disqualified languages be on the showcase at all?
@VimHax I was planning to add them under a separate category but then I decided to just include them in the monthly repls post instead. (It's coming soon)
@TheDrone7 oo yay
@TheDrone7 BTW the display of https://pl-showcase.thedrone7.repl.co/all is broken on safari/osx (it show like a superimpose spaguetti of links)
@mamcx switch to chrome or edge
