For what it's worth, Vim handles it just fine.

As its creator, I would certainly agree. Still, I'd feel bad if some poor soul considered it anything but an interesting demonstration of Ruby's capabilities.

This has no business being at the top of HN.

Having written it, I can assure you that cookies are not required for it to work, and thus no whitelisting should be necessary. I think you may've had some other problem.

Populating the list with answers that are irrelevant almost 99% of the time would be downright cruel.

It's definitely in there, nowhere near as short as the K and Golfscript solutions, though.

The person on a high score list of one is in both first and last place. Zen to remember.

The intention, ideally, is to get a system in place that allows for seamlessly adding new languages and "tasks" and open it up.

To think that Brainfuck * Befunge could be anything but a disaster.

Which do you mean? They're scrambled randomly at the start.

How I wish I could say I speak 70+ programming languages, but alas, they're all from Rosetta Code.[1] I would like to show a variety of "tasks", as the site calls them, but scrapin…
