I think you're right!

Currently my machine is saying outloud every word in /usr/share...words and timing it. I just need some consistent pronunciation - else I'll fool myself by saying some words faster than others.

"Strengths faded after six long months."
Time: 2.825s | Length: 38 | Time per char: .0743 s/char

"Sixths of their strengths were gone."
Time: 2.183s | Length: 36 | Time per char: .0606 s/char

"They survived on crisps and squirrel strength."
Time: 2.817s | Length: 46 | Time per char: .0612 s/char

Oh the sentence has to be grammatically correct ofcourse.

This is my best attempt so far:

rorohiko:song jas$ time say Squirrels hid crisps through sixteen long months.

In case you're foolish enough to be nerdsniped, there is presumably the shortest sentence that takes the longest to say clearly... what is that sentence?

You joke but you know, weirdly, in the limited world of programming languages - this is a large part of the work you've done fixing JS - making the core make consequences be intentional. :p

Mostly the summaries @gothamchess.bsky.social makes.

I dreamt about how I would write prolog to solve this game and it's so crazy impossible. It _feels_ possible but I can't reason about it.

You should play it. hempuli.com/baba/
