## J ## ,/.(,~,.~)^:6,'o' Not ideal, since the triangle is lopsided and followed by a lot of whitespace - but interesting nonetheless I thought. Output: o oo o o oooo o o oo oo o o o o oooooooo o o oo oo o o o o oooo oooo o o o o oo oo oo oo o o o o o o o o oooooooooooooooo o o oo oo o o o o oooo oooo o o o o oo oo oo oo o o o o o o o o oooooooo oooooooo o o o o oo oo oo oo o o o o o o o o oooo oooo oooo oooo o o o o o o o o oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo o o oo oo o o o o oooo oooo o o o o oo oo oo oo o o o o o o o o oooooooo oooooooo o o o o oo oo oo oo o o o o o o o o oooo oooo oooo oooo o o o o o o o o oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o oooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooo o o o o oo oo oo oo o o o o o o o o oooo oooo oooo oooo o o o o o o o o oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o oooooooo oooooooo oooooooo oooooooo o o o o o o o o oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o oooo oooo oooo oooo oooo oooo oooo oooo o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo **A quick explanation:** The verb `(,~,.~)` is what's doing the work here. It's a [hook](http://www.jsoftware.com/help/primer/hook.htm) which first stitches `,.` the argument to itself (`o` -> `oo`) and then appends the original argument to the output: oo becomes oo o This verb is repeated 6 times `^:6` with the output of each iteration becoming the input of the next iteration. So oo o becomes oooo o o oo o which in turn becomes oooooooo o o o o oo oo o o oooo o o oo o etc. I've then used the oblique adverb on append `,/.` to read the rows diagonally to straighten(ish) the triangle. I didn't need to do this, as [randomra](https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/users/7311/randomra) points out. I could have just reversed `|.` the lot to get the same result. Even better, I could have just used `(,,.~)^:6,'o'` to save the reverse step completely. Ah well, you live and learn. :-)
