dev.to codes! Collaborative coding experiment: The most liked comment picks the next line of code, day 1

#programming #opensource #community #fun

This experiment is inspired by a post on the ProgrammerHumor subreddit, where the original author did this exact thing: The most upvoted comment after 24 hours picks the next line of code.

The rules:

  • Nothing that's against any applicable law
  • Nothing that's against the community code of conduct, terms of use, or privacy policy
  • No leaking of personal information of anyone
  • No malware/ransomware/viruses/etc.
  • Keep it civil
  • (To be expanded, depending on the case)

So, the first most liked comment decides which language we're going with.

Our code so far:
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Let's get going!

EDIT: Voting has ended! If you want to contribute code or likes, please see the newest post of the series.
