> that means the result of a function is dependent on it's inputs ONLY Not quite, it means that a function call can be replaced by its value (A function can depend only on its inputs, yet write to a global variable, for example).

If a is duplicated and b missing, computing the sum and the product of all the numbers can give you a-b and a/b, from which you can deduce a and b.

I found vcsh to be very effective. Files live directly in $HOME but the .git repository is in a special directory. https://github.com/RichiH/vcsh

git-flow is not needed, especially for small projects. For most repositories, developing on and sending pull requests to master is acceptable.

I believe that the point is more against collaborative documentation than against the builtin wiki.

I think that it boils down to writing arbitrary data in memory (so that they can't follow the usual path of programs, as with compilers). For the anecdote, a friend of mine used to flash a "hello world" program into a microcontroller using
