Today, my age is flipping it’s least significant bit (yeah, I’m a little-endian-head).
For reference, “getting older” in several languages I know:
Ruby:
self.age += 1
Perl:
$self->age++;
C:
age++;
C++ (*g*):
++age;
sh:
AGE=`expr $AGE+1`
bash:
$((AGE++))
Common Lisp:
(incf age)
Scheme:
(set! age (+ 1 age))
dc:
lA1+sA
Forth:
1 age +!
Brainfuck:
+
Smalltalk:
age ← age + 1.
BlueMoon:
set :age + age 1
Intercal (assuming the age is in register .1), untested:
.2 <- #1
PLEASE DO (1000) NEXT
.1 <- .3
… I’m running out of languages.
To the non-geeks: It’s my birthday today!
