Ok, that makes more sense than a quaternion library :(

  I'm actually surprised Go even has a complex type in it, honestly. The places where you'd use it and the types of programs you'd use Go for don't strike me as overlapping much.

    C supports complex arithmetic. That was a real surprise for me.

      This was added in C99 as part of a set of features that were all motivated by trying to make C a more viable competitor to Fortran for scientific and numeric code.

        Did it work, or did nobody migrate from Fortran to C?
        • int_19h 9y ago
          My understanding is that 1) the implementations didn't really deliver in the optimization department, and 2) the most crucial features (like VLAs) remained poorly supported and or/buggy for a long time.

    There's been some interesting discussion about the possibility of removing them in go 2 https://github.com/golang/go/issues/19921 https://github.com/golang/go/issues/19921

  The code actually exists and you can patch it into your own Go-compiled-from-source version
