Same for [ .

This makes + superfluous (a mere convenience) as
[1-3]+

[1-3][1-3]*
Note that [1-3]* matches the empty string. This happens a lot.

A Turing machine is *not* a stored program computer!
The universal Turing machine is, it contains a hardwired program
to execute a stored program on the tape.

on't understand what a condition number is, you can't use
Mathematica. And yes condition numbers are fully in the realm
of concepts of machine precisions and accuracy.
Infinite precision takes infinite time. Approaching infinite precious
may take exponentional time.

t all.
If you mean that you want to be able to select something with larger
precision than single or double floats, numpy is the starting point.

ood is it? Actually it is good enough to
run the above emulator!
(We run a third emulator, of the GA144, on top at a decent speed.)

But it is a rule, very explicitly explained in the language definition.
(If you are that clean you can handle "ref ref int q" where q is the name
of a place where a "ref int" can be stored.)
"real a" is in fact an abbreviation of "ref real a=loc real&quo
r extension would be possible in Python.
Allusion to assembler where one adds a number to a register
and can't tell whether the register contains an address or data
are misleading.
[This is not to say that I think it is advisable].

You will never be satisfied, until you've written something yourself.
Start writing now. A friend of mine started writing in 1983,
and since 1985 I'm a happy user. The only language that is a candidate
to write in is C, however.

I want to limit myself to 72 char's for readability.
80 char's is over the top.

about 30 chars at most.
Different uses (defining a function versus using a function)
are indicated by color, so don't use up char's.

I was forced to use it (a development environment required it)
and it is not as bad as it sounds.

You have been brain washed by the Intellectual Properties congsy.
Of course you can read through code to borrow idea's from it.
