Why describe this as a practical language which is used for data science? Corbin (talk) 16:24, 4 August 2026 (UTC)

First, which do you think is more suitable for data analysis, a double-precision floating-point number or an arbitrary-precision floating-point number? Second, this language largely imitates Python. Third, it supports some complex mathematical calculations and a lot of standard libraries related to data science (although they haven't been written yet). Finally, I might have designed this programming language just for backend development rather than frontend, and data science is an important part of backend development (it might even go beyond backend development, but either way, the two are connected).
