The Funciton program presented by the puzzle at first seems so clunky - so many literals floating around, so many trivial-seeming calculations, why go through the gruntwork of parsing all these steps? But then the puzzle answers this question in such a genius way that, when I first solved it, made me ask why no one had ever thought of this before, given the similar shapes in both Funciton and Hashi. Masterful construction by Softfro as always!
Man, the reveal that the entire functiton program prints HASHI and is itself isomorphic to a solvable hashi puzzle, that was mind blowing enough. When the solution itself was another funciton program that is itself a reference to the original, I was speechless. What an amazing puzzle, and a great explanation too!
Really nice video, the explanation of the Funciton code was well done. The Hashi aswell. I always find it interesting, how setters even begin to construct puzzles like this.
I haven't had a look at esolangs for a while, but both Funciton and that puzzle seem like marvels of engineering. This is the kind of projects that makes me want to do more math and programming!
Wow! I’m probably not the target audience for this video, since I’ve only vaguely know if esolangs and don’t program, but this video was great! I followed along and was thoroughly entertained! Also, now I know about Hashiwokakero! Great stuff!!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Hashiwokakero is of course just one of many pen-and-paper logic puzzles that you can find on puzzlink (puzz.link/db/) or on this puzzle site here: www.puzzle-bridges.com/

Yup! Imagine my reaction when I first solved it. I had no idea!!

Thank you for the kind words!
This was recommended to me and as a first video it was awesome, cool eso language and cool puzzle!

@@TimwiSoMuchCodeI’m clearing some easy hashi puzzles with that second link! Thank you so much!
i was there during the stream where this was solved and i think timwi might have cried a little toward the end
i know i would too
Yeah it was quite moving!
i have no idea how i got there but strange and curious stuff, hashiwokakero is pretty nice to solve, never heard of it thanks !
Fyi, when I saw the thumbnail I 50% believed that it was AI generated because I assumed that "funciton" is a typo of "function"
Fun fact, it *is* named for a typo of “function”! But not an AI generated one. ;-)
AIs usually don't typo though
