HCODX is a free online compiler and code runner: write code in your browser, execute it on a cloud sandbox, and interact with your program through a live terminal. Students use it for coursework and interview practice; developers use it to test snippets in 85+ languages without setting up a local environment.
Prefix notation is the defining gamble of Pyth, which Isaac Grosof (isaacg on Code Golf Stack Exchange) released in 2014 as a compressed procedural language compiling to Python. Every operator has a fixed arity and comes before its arguments, so programs need no parentheses at all, and the compiler simply knows when each expression is complete. Built on Python semantics with one- and two-character commands, Pyth spent the mid-2010s trading top leaderboard spots with CJam before Jelly and 05AB1E arrived, and thousands of archived answers still teach its idioms. Development has long since wound down, but the interpreter remains runnable, and HCODX serves it in a real interactive terminal where stdin works live and nothing needs installing.
"Hello, World!
How it works: Pyth prints the value of each top-level expression automatically, and a string literal's closing quote may be omitted at the end of a program, so this single unterminated literal is a complete hello world one byte shorter than the quoted form.Pyth remains a strong choice for golfers who think in Python: comprehension-style maps and filters, dictionary tricks, and arithmetic all translate directly with a tenth of the syntax. Its fixed-arity prefix model also makes it an unusually good classroom example of how a grammar can eliminate delimiters entirely, and reading old Pyth leaderboard battles against CJam is a compact history lesson in how golfing languages evolved. HCODX is a free online Pyth editor, runner and interpreter — an IDE-grade compiler and playground to write and run code online, execute code with live output and live preview, no downloads or web server required.
Because every operator has a fixed, known arity and appears before its arguments. The parser reads a symbol, knows exactly how many operands to expect, and recurses; when the count is satisfied the expression ends unambiguously. Polish notation plus fixed arity means brackets carry no information, so Pyth simply deletes them, saving bytes on every nested expression.
Active development effectively ended in the late 2010s, and its author moved on, but the implementation is stable, open source, and still packaged by online runners including this one. Code Golf Stack Exchange continues to accept Pyth answers, and its extensive existing answer base with explanations makes it one of the easier historical golfing languages to learn today.
Very close underneath: Pyth code compiles to Python, its data types are Python's, and many commands are thin wrappers over builtins like map, sorted, and zip. The surface could hardly differ more, prefix notation, no delimiters, implicit printing, and single-character variables with preset values. Python fluency transfers directly to Pyth semantics while the syntax must be learned fresh.
