I hope so too. Countries that try to regulate Internet don't deserve Internet. I wish more websites had the balls to not give in to every ridiculous law passed around the globe (e.g. Github removing perfectly normal files because Rosk

Nothing unfortunate about that. When you work with rationals, it's very easy to grow incredibly large denominators, at which point all arithmetic operations slow to a crawl. Floats are fast and predictable, which is why they're us

They are Lisp languages . The syntax is similar, but the languages listed hardly have anything common with each other. They aren't even all on the same side of the classic functional/imperative divide.
