  • \$\begingroup\$ Can the heap have a fixed size? If so, what's an acceptable size for it? \$\endgroup\$ Commented Nov 11, 2021 at 1:11
  • \$\begingroup\$ @DLosc Sure. And let's say at least 1000 (or perhaps 1024)? If you have another reasonable alternative feel free to suggest it. I've been codegolfing in Whitespace a few years now and overall I never saved too many stuff in the heap. Although tbf, with codegolfing you usually just overwrite the initial heap value since pushing address 0 is just the shortest, and in most cases you don't need to re-use the heap too much. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Nov 11, 2021 at 7:35
  • \$\begingroup\$ Form feeds are white space. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Jul 13, 2022 at 20:58
  • \$\begingroup\$ @user230118 So are carriage returns, zero-width spaces, etc. 🤷 I'm not the one who named the language. Either way, those can all be ignored like any other character, except for the three whitespace characters (newline, tab, space) that are mentioned. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Jul 14, 2022 at 6:41
