Reactions on Code Golf Codidact

Reactions were just released! See the main meta post here for the details.

Currently, the default reactions look like this: Reactions panel

Now, I would argue that none of these fit for Code Golf - so what reactions do you think the community should have?

None of these are applicable at least not for Code Golf challenges. I think this community should "opt out" of reactions unless we can come up with more relevant ones.

  • "Works for me". Answers are supposed to live up to the challenge specification - if they don't, then one should use comments to point out the problems and possibly down vote if the poster is not responsive. There is no "correct" answer, but a best answer, per language. The score board sorts that out.

  • Outdated. Using outdated language features is a common trick and not necessarily considered bad practice for code golf purposes. If the code doesn't work with modern tools/interpreters, then the answer should point out which version it is using. In which case posting an answer for an older version of a language spec is fine.

  • Dangerous. The vast majority of the code posted here is blatantly dangerous. Anyone who doesn't grasp that this is a puzzle site but comes here looking for production-quality code only have themselves to blame.

I think "Dangerous" could perhaps stay on. "Outdated" would probably be better off replaced with "Invalid" or something of that sort. I don't think we need "Works for me" or an analog of it at all: I don't entirely disagree with Quintec's suggestion of "Interesting/Cool/Wow" but showing your support for an answer is what upvotes are for. An "Interesting!" reaction wouldn't add anything meaningful (unlike "Works for me" on sites where that applies).

New reactions are up

"Works for me" is gone, "Outdated" is now invalid, and "Dangerous" has stayed the same.

Interesting! / Cool! / Wow!

Any of these names would work, I think. This would be the dark green reaction in place of "works for me". Intended to be used for answers that are extra unique/impressive in some way, even if they aren't the golfiest, or just for answers that you think deserve more than just an upvote.
