If you wouldn't mind, please stop referring things as being "magical".
That is not an insult. I am using it as term of admiration. And I did not dream it up myself. I have had several of the developers use both magical and Magic Larry powder on me, which is where I got it from. Plus it gets to the point instantly and is also a fun way of stating that somethings is very technical and very brilliantly executed. It also tells me that when the explanation is way, way over my head, to take it at face value. AND IN THREE WORDS!
There's nothing magical about Raku/Perl6 other than the devs that put in their time to give you that perception.
Of course not. Raku can not break the laws of nature.
They are to be commended for their time and effort.
You mean admired for their work, which is the way I mean it. I am not sure where you got the opposite. Maybe you are having a bad day?
Also, being condescending as in "he gave up" is uncalled for.
Oh no I am not. I am teasing him. I think the guy is beyond brilliant.
It's an IMPOSSIBILITY using today's technology to tell you whether a number is irrational....period.
If ANYONE on the face of this earth can figure it out, It would be Larry! And I am not joking either! Also, when it comes to Magic Larry Powder, never, never, never ever say "IMPOSSIBLE". -T -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Computers are like air conditioners.
