Do the characters even have morse code assigned to them?

[–] morgunkorn@discuss.tchncs.de 26 points 11 months ago (3 children)

I found those:

Underscore		. . _ _ . _
Addition		. _ . _ .
Subtraction		_ . . . . _ 
Multiplication		_ . . _
Division		_ _ _ . . .
Equal			_ . . . _
Right Parenthesis	_ . _ _ . _
Left Parenthesis	_ . _ _ .

But this isn't enough for programming, square and curly brackets, carets, ampersand, pipe, tilda... I think it's gonna be pretty challenging

C is so old, it has a way to work around that! In case your 198x keyboard was not set to ASCII you know. Not sure if Morse covers all the characters needed for the replacement trigraphs though.

I love when there are solutions for every weird use case ^^

Please delete the .m. from the Wikipedia link so it's correct for desktop users.

What if desktop users delete it themselves, if they don't like it?

[–] JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

The default link redirects for mobile automatically, it doesn't work the other way around.

[–] 14th_cylon@lemm.ee -4 points 11 months ago

Ok, that's fair point, but it still isn't other people's job to serve you links just how you like them.

Can't you extend it by adding extra bits? Though typing them would be problematic as the length will be growing too.

[–] morgunkorn@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 11 months ago

It would be a blow to render this typing method slightly slower, definitely a deal breaker 😏

COW (a moo themed brainfuck variant) would work.
