That’s a really good point, Tobias. For anyone who may not know, there is a rule that stops languages being developed/edited after a challenge has been posted. But I believe what you’re referring to is where people have thought about the common challenges that do arise and are solving them with 4-5 hard to follow UTF-8 characters. I agree with you on some level that this is a problem. However, there has been an evolution in challenges to match this — questions that specifically make it hard for golfing languages to compete. For instance, Paint Starry Night, objectively. I think as long as people are explaining their process (and language) I remain thoroughly interested. For instance, this Jelly answer to ‘How high can you count’.
Great comment 👍.
