- lamontcg 5y agoIf the function is printed in a journal article, or you just use something like 'less' to look at the file all that information is not available. I find it kind of weird that we've normalized not being able to read the code outside of the proper program for it. Since those IDEs often cost money it starts to feel a bit like steps towards a walled garden to me, and I'm not sure its good for actual computer science.
