Continuing my theme of learning all the languages, I took the opportunity of a programming puzzle to try out the same approach in a handful of different languages to compare how they work.
I ended up using R, (Dyalog) APL, Julia, Haskell, Python, and Rust; someone provided a J solution; and I’ll add in any others shared with me. Try pasting the code into the{webr} online editor here; I’m not sure if it’s possible to link to an existing state, but when it asks if you want to install {purrr} to the interface, respond that you do. I’m no stranger to the quirks of different languages, but every time I try to do something functional in python I end up angry that the print method for generators shows the memory address instead of, say, the first few elements.
