something like

let x = if cond() then { x = 5; y = 6; } else { x = 10; };
let y = x.x;

could very plausibly work without boxing
most system languages are sadly still too "C-brained", but theres so much room for both automatic optimization and non-C-like manual low-level layout control

not in rust, but you could do probably do something like this with dataflow analysis and subtyping
i think "dataflow for automatic memory layout optimization" is an exciting concept in general

def f(x): s=len(str(x)) r=0 for c,q in zip(range(2,1+s),b'ddcdbdccb'): n=s//c p=10**n d=(p**c-1)//(p-1) m=1+(x-1)//d r+=(q-99)*(1-p-d*(s%c<1)*(p*p-m*m+m-p)+sum(10**i*(p**i-1)*b'\tc'[i>c]//(100*10**i-100)for i in range(2,c+2))) return r//2 t=0 for x in open('02.txt').read().strip().split(','):a,b=map(int,x.split('-'));t+=f(b+1)-f(a) print(t)

day 2 part 2 this is so stupid

funnily enough, this is almost shorter than my (ungolfed) apl solution:

+/a[;2]-(a←{n←⌊(l←1+⌊10⍟⍵)÷2◊⌊((((((m-1)×m←m+((10*n)|⍵)>m←⌊⍵÷10*n)×1+10*n)-⌊(110+10*3×n)÷111) (((¯1+10*3×n)×110÷111)-10*n))[1+2|l]+1+⌊(¯1+10*2×n)÷11)÷2}¨⊃{(0 1)+⍎¨(⍵≠"-")⊂⍵}¨((x≠",")⊂x←(x≠"\n")/x←⎕FIO[26]"02.txt"))[;1]

for aoc2025 day 2, i went with python over apl

def f(x):
s=len(str(x))
n=s//2
p=10**n
m=x//p
m+=m<x%p
if s%2:m=p
return((m-1)*m*(p+1)-(110+10**(3*n))//111+1+(10**(2*n)-1)//11)//2
print(sum(f(b+1)-f(a)for a,b in (map(int,x.split('-'))for x in open('02.txt').read().strip().split(','))))

got a highscore of a 26 move 15 puzzle solve on flipper zero which is only possible in one of 72.5k games. safe to say i'm not beating that one...

cursed idea: semantic whitespace for function application

f g(h) -> apply f to g(h)
f g (h) -> apply f g to h
or even
f g h -> apply f to g h

osu! world cup finals, poland vs usa (two top seeded teams) 6-6, leading to a tiebreaker

peeeeeak

it's okay i'm not completely gone yet only the first 28 moves are valid and then i misremember the board state, and also third move should be 6 instead of 9 in order to get an optimal solution

a screenshot of the wikipedia page on the 15 puzzle, showing a random position that i'm describing a (fairly optimal but probably not 100% perfect) solution to

i hate that i see this and immediately go “oh yeah 13, 10, 9, 5, 8, 4, 3, 14, 10, 9, 5, 9, 4, 3, 8, 5, 6, 11, 12, 1, 2, 4, 3, 15, 4, 3, 15, 8, 15, 11, 12, 7, 6, 5, 11, 12, 7, 6, 5, 9, uuh i forgot”

how did they manage to make nulls even more broken

omg i just somehow ran into a situation where NullReferenceException was being thrown even after a null check??? sure c# whatever you say i'll just use a try catch...

currying may feel like a gimmick but when the argument you're passing is non-trivial (like the result of calling a function) they can actually give you performance savings for free (can be emulated by storing that result into a captured variable but that's much more boilerplate)

God only knows YouTube video by Oratorio The World God Only Knows - Topic

god only knows (a great opening from a bad anime) has a line "anyone could be a hero and heroine", it always felt very trans coded to me (probably unintentional but i couldn't care less)
