Re: A script proclaiming Arch's superiority

The only problem with that being that I don't know which code matches up to which language. =/ .

Alright, I'll get to work.

e:Here's my attempt. It works for me (en_US), but I don't really have the desire to try switching up my locale just to test it out.

lang = `locale|grep LANG|cut -c6-7`.chomp 
case lang
when "id"
    puts "Arch terbaik!"
when "eu"
    puts "Arch onena da!"
when "bn"
    puts "Arch shobcheye bhalo!"
when "zh"
    puts "Arch 是最牛逼的！"
when "cs"
    puts "Arch je nejlepší!"
when "cs"
    puts "Arch er bedst!"
when "de"
    puts "Arch ist das Beste!"
when "nl"
    puts "Arch is de beste!"
when "en"
    puts "Arch is the best!"
when "fil"
    puts "Mabuhay ang Arch!"
when "fr"
    puts "Arch est le meilleur!"
when "gl"
    puts "Arch é o mellor!"
when "el"
    puts "Το Arch είναι το καλύτερο!"
when "hi"
    puts "आर्ख सब से अच्छा है ।"
when "hu"
    puts "Az Arch a legjobb!"
when "ja"
    puts "アーチュが一番ですよ！"
when "nn"
    puts "Arch er best!"
when "pl"
    puts "Arch jest najlepszy!"
when "pt"
    puts "Arch é o melhor!"
when "quebecois"
    puts "Arch est le plus meilleure du monde!"
when "ru"
    puts "Арч - лучший!"
when "sr"
    puts "Arch je najbolji!"
when "sl"
    puts "Arch je najboljši!"
when "es"
    puts "¡Arch es la mejor!"
when "sv"
    puts "Arch är bäst!"
when "tr"
    puts "Arch en iyisidir!"
when "he"
    puts "ארצ' זה הטוב ביותר!"
else
    puts "Sorry, I don't know #{lang}. :("
end

Didn't see any java swing version.

Heres one

ArchBest.java

import javax.swing.JOptionPane;

public class ArchBest {
    public static void main(String args[]) {
        JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Arch is the Best!");
        System.exit(0);
    }
}

Compile and Run

javac ArchBest.java
java ArchBest

Re: A script proclaiming Arch's superiority

I know it has been a while but this thread really made me cry, so I somehow have to contribute too:

Here is a little operating system that can be written on a floppy disk (or booted with a vm (like qemu)):

 org 0x7C00 
 
    jmp 0x0000:start
    start:
                    
    cli             
    mov ax, 0x9000  ; Stack
    mov ss, ax      
    mov sp, 0       
    sti            
 
    ; Segment register
    mov ax, 0x0000
    mov es, ax
    mov ds, ax
 
    mov [bootdrv], dl
    
    mov ah, 0x02
    xor bx, bx
    xor dx, dx
    int 0x10
    
    mov cx, 0x7d0
    mov al, 0x20
    mov ah,0x0E
    mov bx,0x0007
    .clearscreen:
     int 0x10
    loop .clearscreen

    mov ah, 0x02
    xor bx, bx
    mov dx, 0x0B1B
    int 0x10

    mov si, messagebox1
    call putstr
    
    mov ah, 0x02
    xor bx, bx
    mov dx, 0x0C1B
    int 0x10
    
    mov si, messagebox2
    call putstr
    
    mov ah, 0x02
    xor bx, bx
    mov dx, 0x0D1B
    int 0x10
    
    mov si, messagebox3
    call putstr
 
    .never:
     hlt
    jmp .never
 
 
    bootdrv db 0
    messagebox1 db "| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |",0
    messagebox2 db "|  Arch is the Best!  |",0
    messagebox3 db "| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |",0
 
    putstr:
    lodsb             
    or al,al
    jz short putstrd  
 
    mov ah,0x0E
    mov bx,0x0007
    int 0x10
    jmp putstr
    putstrd:
    retn
 
    times 512-($-$$)-2 db 0
    dw 0AA55h

To compile it you need nasm: nasm -f bin archos.asm
and to test it with qemu: qemu -fda archos
and to write it on a floppy: dd if=archos of=/dev/fd0

Re: A script proclaiming Arch's superiority

@moljac024: Made an german translation. Sorry, if i made any mistake, but I'm new to programming!

#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/zenity --info --text "Bogen ist das am Besten!"

Epic translation.

The initial post would have been even funnier with [hidden] tags.

Re: A script proclaiming Arch's superiority

Just for those not speaking/understanding German, "Bogen ist das am Besten" is sort of pidgin German saying "Arch/Bow/Curve is the at (the) best"

And yea, awesome thread.

Re: A script proclaiming Arch's superiority

I am Just Another Lazy Perl Hacker and I was bored while fixing my daughter's windoze box (sigh) so I wrote this to keep my spirits up ;^)

I began by just doing a localized version but I got lazy when it came to stuff like generating .pos and such. So I just hacked it together. In doing so, I realized that what makes Arch the best is having so many ways to say it, so say it loud and proud!

Oh, and please note that this program will be a good test of your terminal's current level of Unicode support.

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;

use POSIX qw(locale_h);
use locale;    # for locale detection
use utf8;    # unicode source code

binmode STDOUT, ":encoding(UTF-8)";    # print unicode

# These would be easier to produce as opposed to string literals, besides, what
# about octal and stuff like mime base 64 ... not to mention the lack of XML.
# Binary ASCII => 0100000101110010011000110110100000100000011010010111001100100000011101000110100001100101001000000110001001100101011100110111010000100001
# Hexidecimal ASCII => '4172636820697320746865206265737421'

# is el right for Greek? It's supposed to be Modern Greek

Re: A script proclaiming Arch's superiority

I've ported this to HTML5:

  <head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <title>Arch is the best!</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <p>Arch is the best!</p>
  </body>
</html>

I also ported this to LolCode:

HAI

Awesome. I've added concurrency:

  "fmt"
  "strings"
)

func proclaim(c chan<- string) {
  for _, w := range strings.Fields("Arch is the best!") {
    c <- w
  }
  close(c)
}

func Proclamation() <-chan string {
  c := make(chan string)
  go proclaim(c)
  return c
}

func main() {
  for w := range Proclamation() {
    fmt.Printf("%s ", w)
  }
  fmt.Println()
}
