Thanks for your feedback for my library, I will look into this issue more closely soon.

I agree with you, that you can use the scalar product to compare lengths. So +1 for Math.hypot2 But I see also use cases for calculating the actual length. So I would definitely include both methods. alex P.S I had problems with my mail program this afternoon. Sorry if someone got my previous mail twice. I think I made some chaos in the mailing list... _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
