:However, there are a number of points about the task which are not particularly clear and it should, of course, just be a draft at this stage. --[[User:PureFox|PureFox]] ([[User talk:PureFox|talk]]) 12:17, 25 September 2019 (UTC)
==Language==
RC tries to get through any school profanity filters so the 'u' should be changed to a '*' for example, for the purposes of an RC task. --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] ([[User talk:Paddy3118|talk]]) 12:57, 25 September 2019 (UTC)
:Agreed, even if in reality most programmers swear like troopers - and with good reason :) --[[User:PureFox|PureFox]] ([[User talk:PureFox|talk]]) 13:34, 25 September 2019 (UTC)
==So all of this is my fault, eh?==
Hi there! Allow me to introduce myself, I'm Rerednaw, the original creator of this thing. I've created this """""language""""" in 2018, as a young teenager who's trying to be "so edgy and stuff"... So yes, if the language contains insults and is based on a very outdated meme, that's the reason why. And that's also why the quine command exists, because "oh quines exist so I should implement one". The purpose of the language was to help copy-pasting, although this was not meant to help spammers or anything like that, because in that case they can just write a short program in Python instead of downloading an interpreter of an esoteric language made by some guy and then learn how to code in it.<br>
So the reason why I'm here is because I see that a lot of people have problems with this task because a lot of things are unclear in the definition of it, and that's mostly my fault because I thought that some of them are evident and weren't needing explanations. I am not the original creator of this task so I have no power to decide what this task should be, but I think I can still help to respond to some questions about the original language. The list of questions below is not exhaustive:<br>
Overwriting when Copy? - No (yeah, I know that the rules were not very precise on this...)<br>
Case sensitivity? - Yes.<br>
Ignore wrong commands? - No (including spaces).<br>
Duplicate n = n+1 times the word? - Yes (e.g. Copy a Duplicate 2 -> aaa).<br>
Error messages? - Not an obligation but you can.<br>
Line break after Copy? - This was one of the many holes I left. Nowadays, line breaks are not added after Copy, and before that, I had no idea.<br>
If you want me to respond to another question, just ask here.
I will finish this text by saying that I'm happy that some people find a way to use this thing. Since then, I left the esoteric programming community but I'm now back and I have updated CopyPasta Language to be a more useful language while keeping the same feel.--[[User:Rerednaw|Rerednaw]] ([[User talk:Rerednaw|talk]]) 15:50, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
