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 https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/17496#change-89670 * 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. :-) -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
