If we're going to have convenience multiples of PI, they should be a)
non-ideological, and b) include more than one (PI/2 comes up a lot in
vector math, for example).
Why not have:
Math.PI
Math.DPI //double pi
TAU
Math.HPI //half pi
ETA, conventionally.
Or perhaps we should just let people define their own constants. This
does seem a bit silly.
The ideology is silly, or worse.
Don't worry, as a champion (advocate for spec-canonization of a
proposal), I will face an advocatus diaboli -- probably many. I'll also
make sure to balance the proposal by listing other candidates for Math
(erf, gamma, ETA) and sorting by observed frequency of use, importance
as built-in vs. self-hosted, etc.
I hope people can hold fire now and let es-discuss focus on better
topics. But if you have something related to Math to propose, please
start a new thread.
