Comment on Functional Fluid Dynamics in Clojureparent

Comments

"The weird thing about C is that its not even prefixed like Clojure (+ 2 2), instead all operators are scattered between the arguments!"

Please tell me he is kidding. Maybe I don't get out of my cave often enough but it seems uncommon that someone could grok FP bypassing C altogether.

He's not kidding, C precedence rules are weird. Even D. Ritchie thinks so. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_operations#Programming...

Oh, and it isn't strange to grok FP bypassing C altogether.

Of course he's kidding! I refuse to believe that wasn't some tongue-in-cheek statement. For fluid dynamics, all we are talking about is addition and multiplication, and the precedence rules for these operations are what you would expect them to be.
