New Preferred Programming Language Requests

[jimfan]

If you were only allowed to solve every problem with one language, then which one, in your opinion, would it be?

It would still be APL, specifically, NARS2000, the ultimate desktop calculator. Mr. Bob Smith told in comp.lang.apl that he added high precision number for tackling Project Euler!

Hi I just answered my first problem and I am planning to answer all problems in jq -- https://stedolan.github.io/jq/

I was wondering if there were any plans to add jq to the dropdown for picking my default language. I've left it blank for now which works fine but it would be cool to be able to specify "my" language.

Here is my forum post with some jq code if that is helpful https://projecteuler.net/thread=1&page=9#300714

Thanks for taking the time to read my suggestion!

Moved this post to the dedicated thread for such language requests.

You might like to take a look at the thread's initial post which contains some guidance on proposing additional languages for the 'preferred language' dropdown; I hope this helps.

Thank you! I will read this…

Ok, so jq is a "real programming language" as indicated by it's on Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jq_(programming_language)

And jq can be installed with any of the major package managers -- yum, apt, brew, etc.

As to whether jq is distinct from other languages already on the list -- yes, jq is a functional programming language where all data structures are expressed as valid JSON. The jq language interpreter is written in C and is a standalone binary with no other dependencies.

Oh and fwiw the correct capitalization is indeed "jq" all lower case.

jq has been added. That takes the total to 101 programming languages.

Wow thank you!!!

How about adding lci? (https://github.com/chatziko/lci)
lci is a programming language that is heavily based on λ-calculus.

lci is pretty different because it is a programming language where (almost) all expressions are valid λ-terms or refer in a way to valid λ-terms.

lci is not on the Wikipedia list of programming languages, nor does googling "lci programming language" return any useful result.

[Dr.Cyber]

I guess lci is being too specific. lci is basically just an implementation of the λ-calculus. Just like all assembly's and basics are grouped together it makes sense that all λ-calculus implementations would be grouped together as well.
And "lambda calculus interpreter programming language" does return useful results.
In addition Wikipedia has a page for it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambda_calculus
So could λ-calculus be added?

[euler]

Thanks for suggesting a suitable grouping. I've added "Lambda Calculus" to the list.
