for those times when you want to say nothing, but don't know how to say it
- a python command line tool that generates a syntactically valid but semantically nonsensical sentence
- sentences will loosely follow the phrase structure of "colorless green ideas sleep furiously"
- that's about it
- only supports mac os.
- you've gotta already have python installed
- downloading this without using
git clone
will be a headache but is certainly possible
- simply run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/nknish/chomsky && sh chomsky/install.sh
- if you have permission issues, you'll be prompted to enter your password
- if you've previously installed chomsky (or somehow have file/directory name conflicts), you'll be prompted to overwrite existing files
- and then the command
chomsky
will be in your system path (inusr/local/bin
)
chomsky

to get verbose output (at your own risk)- i might add some more features later but who knows
- written in python
- i figured out how to use shell scripting to make installation easy, which was cool
- shoutout jarrett's cs449
- if you have any ideas or find any bugs, just let me know
- if you get a really great sentence, you should also share that
