| Apr 9, 2019 at 21:25 | comment | added | recursive | @KevinCruijssen: Added an explanation, although I can't shake the feeling there is some additional bloat in there somewhere. | |
| Apr 9, 2019 at 18:31 | comment | added | recursive | @KevinCruijssen: Hah. I'll try! | |
| Apr 9, 2019 at 18:30 | comment | added | Kevin Cruijssen | @recursive If you remove 6 more bytes from the unpacked version, I'll try to remove 2 ;p And I indeed understand the value of the unpacked vs packed version. I now copy non-ASCII characters almost every time, whereas languages like Japt or unpacked Stax could just type them. :) | |
| Apr 9, 2019 at 18:29 | comment | added | recursive | @KevinCruijssen: The unpacked stax source is now at 42 bytes. The packing concept is kind of a double-edge sword, since it makes the primary symbol alphabet smaller at the same time as reducing their effective packed size. One character instructions from printable ascii are roughly ~6.5 bits after packing, but non-ascii characters aren't usable. I decided to do it that way to keep that langauge easily type-able. I will add an explanation today. | |
| Apr 9, 2019 at 18:23 | comment | added | Kevin Cruijssen | @recursive Hehe. :) Not sure if I'm able to find something for -2. -1 might still be possible. Had already upvoted your Stax answer last month. Stax byte encryption has an edge here, since I doubt the unencrypted source code is shorter? ;) Btw, could you add an explanation to your answer. Curious to see your approach. | |
| Apr 9, 2019 at 17:55 | comment | added | recursive | @KevinCruijssen: You'll need 2 more again. :) | |

@MagicOctopusUrn Fine, 2 more removed. ;p And žRAu¦«Dl.ιS could alternatively be A¬žR:uSDl.ι, but unfortunately that won't save bytes. And 0м.B instead of 0ð: is a byte more instead of less.. Kinda hoped the mirrors might implicitly box by adding trailing spaces so the .B wouldn't be necessary, but maybe it's better they don't for other challenges I guess.

@MagicOctopusUrn Oh, and 2 more by changing í.Bí to Tj (only works in the new version, but not sure if its a bug or intentional). So implicitly you enabled a 10-bytes save in total with your alternative approach. :D

@MagicOctopusUrn Ah nice, and with some compression and the builtin "abc" it can be golfed by 6 more: •3ô• can be Ž3ô; 120 6 1D can be ƵJ6XD; …abcA¦«Dus.ι can be žRAu¦«Dl.ι. :)
