[ruby-core:101841] [Ruby master Feature#17496] Add constant Math::TAU

Issue #17496 has been updated by jzakiya (Jabari Zakiya).


Well, I guess this regresses to a philosophical|religious issue, it's obviously not technical. :-(

But how can adding ``TAU`` in anyway hurt Ruby?

A short list of languages I know of which now include ``TAU``:
D
C# (.NET)
F#
Nim
Rust
Julia
Python3

What has changed is ``TAU`` is gaining more traction in math|science, and is being included in more languages.

But really, Ruby 3.0 has added so much stuff to it, some purely for looks (``endless methods``),
I don't understand the resistance to adding this one constant, as it requires absolutely no change to the language.

If programmer happiness is really a high priority, this will make allot of us very happy.

Feature #17496: Add constant Math::TAU

* Author: jzakiya (Jabari Zakiya)
* Status: Rejected
* Priority: Normal
----------------------------------------
Excuse me if this has been brought up before.

This is a simple proposal to add the math constant ``Math::TAU`` = 2*``Math::PI``.

See: https://tauday.com/

``TAU`` has been included in a growing number of languages (Rust, Python3, Julia, et al), and this would add Ruby to that list, and make it even cooler. :-)
