Software developers will tend to work towards the metrics.

Kate Bush's song contains more digits of PI than your commit.

Songwriter Lucy Kaplansky (daughter of mathematician Irving Kaplansky, IIRC) isn't as famous as Kate Bush, but also wrote a pi song, with C=1, D=2, E=3, etc. Stephen Bloch sbl...@adelphi.edu On Apr 22, 2014, at 1:37 PM, Matthias Felleisen matth...@ccs.neu.edu wrote: On Apr 22, 2014, at 12:48 PM, ntoro...@racket-lang.org wrote: racket/collects/racket/extflonum.rkt --- OLD/racket/collects/racket/extflonum.rkt +++ NEW/racket/collects/racket/extflonum.rkt @@ -6,10 +6,12 @@ (for-syntax racket/base)) (provide (all-from-out '#%extfl) - + pi.t in-extflvector for/extflvector for*/extflvector extflvector-copy) +(define pi.t 3.1415926535897932385t0) + I think we should dedicate this commit to Kate Bush's PI song (or vice versa?): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZSHr5E7fZY _ Racket Developers list: http://lists.racket-lang.org/dev _ Racket Developers list: http://lists.racket-lang.org/dev
