On most challenges when it is currently not the corresponding year of the challenge, It says this in the front.

It's [current year] already, folks, go home.

You have to output this text with the current year substituted.

I/O

Input: None.

Output: It's [current year] already, folks, go home.

QBIC, 48 bytes

?@It's `+right$(_D,4)+@ already, folks, go home.

I really should start working on substring...

Explanation:

?       PRINT
@ ... ` String literal: 
        - creates a string with all the text from @ to `, 
        - stores it as the first available string var (A$)
        - and injects A$ at the current point in the QBasic translated code.
+       String concatenation
right$  QBasic function to take characters from the right.
_D      QBIC's call to get the system date as dd-mm-yyyy (_d gets the time)
+@ ...  Second string lit (B$). Doesn't need the closing ` because of EOF.

Update: Substring saves me 4 bytes:

?@It's `+_s_D,-4|+@ already, folks, go home.

Gawk, 64 60 bytes

GNU Awk has a couple of built-in function to get current time and date.

BEGIN{print"It's "strftime("%Y")" already, folks, go home."}

Edit

The script can run from a file (-f), which saves 4 bytes (thanks manatwork).

  • \$\begingroup\$ Actually that is just 60 bytes. The enclosing single quotes and the escape code for single quote are needed only because the shell. You can put the code in a file max.awk and run it as gawk -f max.awk, so becomes clear that only the 60 bytes in the file needs to be counted. (The -f command line option is for free, other command line options would be counted.) \$\endgroup\$

I am really confused when counting command line options towards the byte count. Is there a rule or a post that talks about which options count and which don't? I couldn't find it on my own. \$\endgroup\$
