| Jan 20, 2012 at 21:08 | comment | added | Mallow | I don't know which language I would want this for yet. I know php the most but I don't want to do it in that language. Lisp is attractive since from what I've read it has no limits for length. However my personal flaw of wanting to know how it works makes me want to have the liberty to do it in qbasic if I were stuck on an island. (It's for fun too, I'm always thinking about calculating large numbers and some online calculators are too cumbersome for the task.) | |
