This is what build systems do. What additional complexity are you referring to? Is there a particular project that you are thinking of?

Hey hey hey, let's not blame floating point here ;). Floating point is completely deterministic (as you note by getting the same behavior every time you run the simulation in the browser). I'm looking at the js spec, and there sho

I think proving that there is a backdoor isn't a concern. A useful backdoor could probably be passed off as an engineering error. The bigger issue is that the backdoor, if exploitable by anyone, could become known.

So you object to the terms 'dot' and 'cross' product? They signify nothing beyond the notation itself. Also, I use 'bool' everywhere in various langauges to denote a value that is 'true or false'. Sho
