asayeed Just saw "outcallen" as a German verb with "out" as separable particle. e.g., "outgecallt zu werden". I think it needs strengthening à la @texttheater "outcallen/cällst out/caule out/outgecallen".

kweenys @texttheater @ojahnn Take a synchronous context-free grammar (V,Σ,R,S) where
V = {S}
Σ = {c | c is a Unicode codepoint}
R = {S -> ⟨c,c⟩, S -> ⟨c X₁, X₁ c⟩[X₁ / S] | c ∈ Σ}
The induced string transduction reverses the input.

texttheater @ojahnn Take a CFG (V, Σ, R, S) where
V = {S}
Σ = {c|c is a Unicode codepoint}
R = {S → c c, S → c S c | c ∈ Σ}

Use a left-corner parser to scan the input, then generate from the topmost prediction – the right half of the result is your output.

ojahnn my spouse said I should do one that generates a pdf and you have to print it and cut out the letters and sort them yourself - I decided to make it easier by numbering each letter on the other side of the page pic.twitter.com/h7fHHhzS9i

greg_p_kennedy @ojahnn Good idea... I ended up rendering each character individually, in the same sequence, but turning them around backwards first. Now it's correct!

This took 48 seconds on my old PC, but it's also in 1080p Full HD, which is not something most string reversal algorithms can boast. pic.twitter.com/TFjJC48ldw
