   All telecommuting? You mean they hardly ever see each other or you? I'm surprised they're doing anything at all. Are they from the same country as you?

    Take a look at factor. The main designer is a mathematician (amongst other things) and the language comes with an extensive math library. The number tower is one of the best in my opinion, up there with the most advanced Scheme implementati
