Sep 9, 2014 at 14:51 comment added Martin Ender @Optimizer I don't agree with that. For starters, J and APL aren't golfing languages and win about as often as GolfScript and CJam. But moreover, golfing isn't about the green checkmark but about beating submissions "in your league". If I write a Ruby submission that beats all but the those 4 languages I can be quite happy about that, and I don't need those to be banned to enjoy golfing in more verbose languages. In fact, a clever golf in a "normal" language like edc's is much more likely to get a lot of upvotes than a naive (but shorter) implementation in a golfing language.

Sep 9, 2014 at 13:56 comment added Martin Ender @Optimizer I'm sure if someone used that approach in one of the golfing languages they'd get below 20. (That being said, I can't quite reach 44 in Ruby with that approach... currently at 45)
