I can’t agree more. At the very least they should disable some functions like system() and such when it’s obvious the code isn’t written in the actual language but something like bash and such.
Currently @Plopx has done an amazing job getting the shortest bash answer, but then, and because he doesn’t have a choice if he want to be first right now, he has to system(hisbashcode) into every other language.
And honestly I find it sad that he need to do that while it could be interesting to see how each language have its unique approach to the problem.
I know I’ll be more motivated to code golf if there weren’t such “easy” way to cheat. I don’t want to bash golf, I want to golf in the language I choose.
