Well that IS implied by the term HTML (Hyper text markup language) but it is similar in a sense, so I thought I would take the joke to the far end of the scale.

[numerobis]

C++?  I thought it was dwarf computers all the way down.  I'm shattered.

New underground features look very fun.  I'm trying not to read any wikis lest I get less surprised.  Now let's hope Toady doesn't get too depressed dealing with mountains of bug reports and can keep his eye on the prize.  Whatever the prize ends up being.

[forsaken1111]

Do the whole thing in flash, duh.

[Darkerson]

What ever he is using, lets just be freaking glad it isn't HTML!!!!!

HTML isn't a programming language.

i think sarcasm was implied...

[Huggz]

Im pretty sure he writes it in pure binary then converts it to C++...

[Kaolix]

I believe Toady writes everything directly in Machine Code.


Either that or he uses a magnetised needle and a steady hand . . .

[tigrex]

He sort of steals stretches of reality from where people aren't looking, sprinkles it with cat jerky and beards, and uploads the whole lot into the heavens, where god meekly bows before a greater design.

[forsaken1111]

A real dwarf would play DF on a random-cat and water-powered DF computer.

Mmm...

[daysanew]

No your all wrong. He writes it in TI Basic, specially the TI 84 instruction set.
Don't your recognize the MENU function and DISPLAY function at its best?
What taking so long is writing it on the TI 84 then porting it to the computer.

No, he clearly uses butterflies!

We all know that Toady uses a system of mechanisms similar to the Antikythera Mechanism and delicately chips off pieces and adds new ones. He doesn't use any kind of silly silicon-based computer for programming.

[Schilcote]

Naw, he just writes some numbers down on a piece of paper and gives it to Chuck Norris.

No, he uses butterflies. He opens his hands and let the delicate wings flap once. The disturbance ripples outwards, changing the flow of eddie currents in the upper amosphere. These cause momentary pockets of higher-pressure air to form. Which act as lenses that deflect the incoming cosmic rays, focusing to strike the drive platter and flip the desired bit. Ninja'd

Asshole. Or he uses an emac.

[backflip]

Whatever it is, I'm sure it involves magma.

And adamantine arrows fired at a wandering goblin.
