I just wanted to say, thank you so much for explaining this so thoroughly. I feel much more comfortable using complex numbers now that I allowed myself to believe "it's literally equivalent to a rotation matrix."
(I'm a former gamedev, so rotation matrices are very intuitive. But for some reason, I never made the connection to complex numbers, except in an abstract math-y sort of way.)
@mayfer also tried to explain to me that it was a rotation matrix. This tweet chain was helpful; posting it here in case anyone needs further convincing: https://twitter.com/theshawwn/status/1400591835052056580 https://twitter.com/theshawwn/status/1400591835052056580
