Hello,
while people are discussing different notations for literals, I
thought I should mention that in my work I have found it useful to
write literals ending in K (kilo), M (mega) or G (giga) for large
numbers. For example, I can write 4K for (4 * 2^10), or 8M for (8 *
2^20) or 2G for (2 * 2^30
just for fun, I have implemented this for jhc.
you can now write numbers like 10_000_000 if you choose.
I have not decided whether I like the feature or not. but what the heck.
John

Hi
Are these numbers high, or low? I have no idea unless you specify a
reference point. Compared to guards, say? Or case?
Let's just say that 2000 occursances of a syntactic construct between
3 projects probably means that it's not going to be depreciated ever
(thankfully!)

920 in jhc. "I win!" :)
