Dec 10, 2019 at 12:47 comment added G0BLiN Robin Ryder - it's your question :). My point is that any answer in a non-golfing answer is likely to reach the highest score possible without much effort - while with the relaxation of e.g. ignoring braces, these suddenly there's a possibility to reach a higher than trivial score - so there's a challenge, a competition and things become more interesting...
Dec 10, 2019 at 9:36 comment added Robin Ryder @G0BLiN [] are also 2 apart, like {}. I agree this makes the challenge difficult, but adding exceptions would defeat the point of the challenge. Non-golfing languages should probably aim for a score of 2 or 3. For instance, R makes a heavy use of (), but I have an (unposted) R solution with a score of 2, which was fun to work on.
Dec 10, 2019 at 8:51 comment added G0BLiN Unfortunately, since braces pairs ((), [],{}) and the lambda expression symbols (=>) are consecutive (or 1 apart for the case of {}), it seems impossible to get a score of more than 1 for most "non-golf" languages - Any chance to relax the scoring a bit so that these symbols are ignored?

Dec 9, 2019 at 17:11 comment added Robin Ryder @NickKennedy If the language has its own codepage, you may use ASCII if all your characters are ASCII, but you may not use UTF-8.
Dec 9, 2019 at 17:06 comment added Nick Kennedy Where a language has its own codepage, can we opt to use UTF-8? Or do we have to use the language-specific codepage?

Dec 9, 2019 at 11:55 comment added Robin Ryder @tsh Agreed. I don't find answers in Unary and Lenguage very interesting for this challenge. I have added your suggestion.

Dec 9, 2019 at 11:28 comment added Robin Ryder @LuisMendo Yes, largest score wins. It is already in the text, in bold. :-)
Dec 9, 2019 at 11:27 comment added tsh Unary, Lenguage like language may get any large score if they are allowed. Otherwise, answers in languages like Aheui, PerlYuYan would win this challenge. But sadly I can speak none of them.

Dec 9, 2019 at 9:38 comment added Fatalize Suggested test case: [3,14,2]. Output should be 1, right?
Dec 9, 2019 at 9:38 comment added Robin Ryder @Fatalize That's correct: the input is made of distinct integers.
Dec 9, 2019 at 9:32 comment added Fatalize Something that I just understood: we remove duplicates when scoring our code, but we get distinct integers when it’s normal inputs. So we don’t have to remove duplicates ourselves in the code, right?
