Some of you may have noticed:
I was working on a new devRant bot recently.

But this time it doesn't just post a boring random quote everyday, like my @RandomQuote Bot.
This time it actually reacts to the user!

Basically the bot uses https://carbon.now.sh to generate nice little syntax highlighted code.
I just thought this could be handy in some occasions here on devRant.
Especially in the "Questions" category!

Here's the link to the introduction of the bot:
https://devrant.com/rants/2178718

A lot of work went into this bot, so it would be great to hear what you think about it and if you're planning on using it!

Thanks for reading!

Demo:

@highlight
console.log('Hello World!');

cool! 👏 😲😀

@highlight
eChO "🀄";

@highlight gOoD bOt

<@-red>
Everything before the LAST mention will be ignored

@flake

<@-red>
You just really shocked me haha

But then I saw that you've edited the comment...

Edited comments won't work because there won't be a mention notification

@-red Test

<@-red>
See?
No notification for the above comment

<@-red>
?

@-red you broke it by reaching the maximum free carbon now api requests per domain 😄

<@heyheni>
?!
There's no API limit
There isn't even an API

@flake

<@flake>
Expected behavior. Nothing wrong here.

@flake

<@-red>
No I have tested it with @kescherRant earlier:
If you post a comment with for example:
"@Skaryo"
and later edit the comment and change it to:
"@Skayo"
I won't get a notification.

@highlight /*should not highlight int in comments*/
int a;
unsigned b;
char *c;
uint8_t d;
size_t e;

<@-red>
Again:
The bot checks for NEW notifications. If you change the content of the comment, the bot won't get another notification and therefore won't change his reply.

@Skayo wait, so it's a he?

<@alexbrooklyn>
He, she, it, whatever you like.

@rutee07 refers to her as "she" and so do I (when I don't accidentally forget it xD)

@highlight
puts "awwww yissss"

Dude I hate your randomquote bot, but this one is really awesome

@highlight Highlight me

@highlight Why are we spamming this post's comments???

@highlight
public class main {
public static main(string[] args) {
system.out.println("Hello World!");
}
}

@highlight
Be warry, we might post something racist and delete our comment afterwards. Just sain.

<@p100sch>
Yeah but you can see who did the highlighting request so this shouldn't be a big problem.

@highlight
(let [message "yipeeeee"]
(println (str message " !!!!")))

@highlight Arrays start at 1!

@p100sch Don't worry. It always answer back to the user, so it is easy to find.

/** Simple program

*/

// Declaring Variable
let num;

# Getting input
num = int(input())

<!-- Checking... -->
if(num == 0) {
println("Zero 😒")
} elif num % 2 == 0:
printf("Even!!");
else
std::cout << "Odd!!" << std::endl;

@Skayo You have done a great job !!!

PS: I love that emoji 😏

@Zlytherin Since this is JavaScript, you've got to do some type checking and throw some exceptions for invalid input, such as fractions.

@highlight
int main() {
fork();
}
