Come down to maths, we got:
- Strange symbols (∈, Π, ℒ, etc.)
- Invoking the names of ancient practitioners to call on their knowledge (Citations)
- May sometimes summon demons (techbros)
- Sacred historic texts (Principia Mathematica, Elements, any textbook etc.)
- Frequently misunderstood

Okay I think I figure out how to avoid using a monad and properly encapsulate the state but I should probably just use a monad because I’ve been wrong several times.

May I just say for the second time this week, GLOBAL MUTABLE STATE!!!! *shakes fist*
Should probably just rewrite it in monadic style. Wonder if the monad library works well with classes.
Actually in this case it was class-local, but still. it really needed to be group-of-methods local.
GLOBAL MUTABLE STATE!!! *shakes fist*

good evening typles
Doing some performance measurements for my compiler's class (Exprs-lang is the the course compiler). Our compiler ain't bad.
Just wrote quicksort, recursively, with closures in C. I won't be taking questions at this time.
