This little thing caught my interest: APL takes care of binary-vs-decimal inexactness too, so 3×(1÷3) is really 1: 3×(1÷3) How is this done? How well it scale? I suppose well, because APL is good for math, rigth? But then I

I understand that clashing semantics could lead to this, but also think maybe you need a different data structure/patter on Rust? Anyway if you also will leverage more stuff from the Erlang ecosystem is certainly the way to go.

Interesting all the effort in show how important could be to optimize for keywords... and put them under the bus in a too small keyboard layout... with extra layering!. I do the exact opposite (without doing "science" just my feel
