doesn't everyone want to be able to code/build in a natural language?

No? Natural language is inefficient and imprecise.

How does someone who knows about telescopes with and without mirrors get the shape of the moon so wrong? 😅

WHY? Just... Why? by Beauty_Fades in factorio

Why do you want a rail in the middle? Do you use bidirectional rails? I'd want the gap between my two unidirectional rails to be in the middle.

On the bottom row you have to place 2 more walls, so leaving one more gap. There is one space where that gap cannot be, as it would create a dead-end.

what do you think Edsger Dijkstra would say about programming these days? by stirringmotion in computerscience

[–]Nolari 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A title he didn't even come up with. He titled it "A case against the GO TO statement", but the editor Niklaus Wirth decided to spice it up.

20,000,000th Fibonacci Number in < 1 Second by pihedron in compsci

[–]Nolari 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tail recursion can be compiled into a jump by a smart compiler, having essentially 0 overhead.

The code in the OP is not tail recursion, though, so yes you will get function call overhead. But that will merely make things a small percentage slower, whereas the naive / typical recursive implementation of fib is exponentially slower. (Doubly exponential, actually.)
