What language is GrovelBot written in?

[TrogL]

[arwalden]

1. PHP?, Python?

[Renew Deal]

2. The bot runs on a mainframe.

3. Cobol? Fortran? Applesoft Basic?

4. HTML (nt)

5. GrovelBot is not written in a language that mere mortals could comprehend

we are not worthy to see the inner workings of GrovelBot

12. It's written in tongues?

abba labba dabba wagga wagga

[Deja Q]

6. VisualBasic, so there!

:P

[Rabrrrrrr]

7. The GrovelBot is not to be questioned!

His existence is a matter of faith, to accept him as he is.

To delve into his origins is to show that you lack faith, thinking that GrovelBiot was created, and is not the Creator, and he will destroy you - or all of us!! - in his wrath!

Please, I beg you, stop these lines of questions before we are destroyed!

8. Robb is a dingbot

9. I'm thinking it's pure machine code.

10. maybe it's in binary

Either I've written the code for GrovelBot in binary or I've reprogramed Florida voting machines to vote for Zombywoof's Yak

11. #!c:\perl

if (thread.length() >= 30)
{
grovel();

}

[Rabrrrrrr]

14. OMG, GrovelBot would be working overtime!

if (thread.length() == 30)
{
grovel();

}


p.s. - not to mention flooding the place until the servers crashed.

13. Skinner code…

15. I'm thinking some variety of SQL or the perl SQL dbi

It's probably easiest to do the postings directly in the thread database, altho one might script it in perl with the SQL hooks. Many ways to do this, depending on how the tables are constructed.

16. php

but only because they don't know perl!
