More playing with Guile and bf

OpenCOBOL embedding Guile, evaluating bf, and displaying DERP. In only 38 lines of COBOL. …

Well met,

I wrote this one up for a co-worker

 $ guile
 (use-modules (ice-9 eval-string))
 (define derp "+++++ +++++ [ > +++++ ++ > +++++ +++ > + <<< - ] > -- .  + .  > ++ .  -- .  > .")
 (eval-string derp #:lang 'brainfuck)
 DERP
 

and

 $ guile
 (use-modules (ice-9 eval-string))
 (define derp "+++++ +++++ [ > +++++ ++ > +++++ +++ > + <<< - ] > -- .  + .  > ++ .  -- .  > .  > , [ <<< - .  + .  > ++ .  -- .  > .  > - ]")
 (eval-string derps #:lang 'brainfuck) *

He likes derps. So derps in COBOL too:

For the comma value I typed a tab (ascii 9)…in the first sample, * (ascii 42).

Useless, fun. derp
