I knew there was a reason I didn't like Lisp.
I know you're memeing, but if I know my Lisp, just wrapping something in triple parens implies evaluating it three times. So you have an expression evaluating to a producer that produces another producer that finally produces a value?
I'm sure there's a legit use case for it. I just can't think of one.

What bash, that's Lisp. Source is marked as bash.
edit: seems like lemmy has a bug with quoted sourcecode? I'll leave it like this.Feeling called out for having a favourite monospaced font.
Fira Code
Do tell!
fira mono
Have my code editor terminal lemmy etc in it.
That's a good one!
No one with Cascadia Code?
mononoki but only because the Doom Emacs config I followed when I switched to Linux used it.
Ubuntu Mono ftw!
Mine is IBM Plex Mono, but the nerdfont 'Blex' variety.
No ``` Markdown quotation marks ```
No „down-up quotation marks“

No IPA notation? ⸨I'm somewhat disappointed⸩
Can it only be used while drunk?

I don't get the "Someone British is talking" bit
We only use the singular ' to indicate speech within speech -
John said, "I was just speaking to Charlie, and he said 'It's not often XKCD gets things wrong', and I agreed".
I could be wrong but that's what I was taught
The use of quotation marks, also called inverted commas, is very slightly complicated by the fact that there are two types: single quotes (` ') and double quotes (" "). As a general rule, British usage has in the past usually preferred single quotes for ordinary use, but double quotes are now increasingly common; American usage has always preferred double quotes.
British English often uses single quotation marks to identify the outermost text of a primary quotation versus double quotation marks for inner, nested quotations.
From wiki
Huh, just shows you how I was taught the British way many years ago, but adopted the American way due to reading so many bloody books!
Old British person here, I was always taught double quotation marks for speech and single quotation marks for actually quoting something.
Pull out your closest volume of Lord of the Rings and take a look. My copy at least has single-quotes for the speech text and double-quotes are used for nested speech. I guess it might be up to the publisher (eg: my copy of Harry Potter has been "Americanized" and thus uses double-quotes for the first level of speech text), but every copy of LotR i've run across uses single-quotes.
I heard somewhere it was to save ink.
Maybe they were pulling my leg.

...I do have a favorite monospace font. Its Monaspace Krypton
Oooh, I like it (Link for anyone else who's curious)

The python function is some sort of brainfuck?
It's a list with a tuple, with a list with an empty dictionary. I'm not sure the innermost parenthesis is legal there.
Edit: Well, I tested it. It's legal. {()} is just a set with an empty tuple instead of a dictionary.
This sounds like something I would do with all of 40 hours or so of Python-esque programming under my belt. I feel like there has to be a better way, but it worked. I'm worried this might be the best way.
Ouch. If you ever catches yourself writing something like this, stop. Intermediate values deserve names too. Even Haskell developers wouldn't go into such extreme namelessness.
