Eh, I rather write code by hand no matter how long it takes.

I use KDE Kate for my coding. Scripting more accurately to some users, but I don’t find a meaningful distinction.

Yeah. repeat() is unique to a few language. I think just Scala, and G’MIC has it. I use the second one. It’s more convenient than say for(p=0,p<5,++p,);. Sometimes, repeat(5,); suffice.

I actually use repeat(iterations,index_name(optionall),);. No need for i++ or ++i for loop in many cases.

I had this problem only once. Luckily, I do not need recursion. I know my way using iterative process.

Not what I’m saying. Just saying if I need speed, I’d use a naturally faster language.

Numpy is good for that. But, I gravitate toward naturally faster langs where I don’t need to import a library for speed. I use Python for simple, dumb scripts.

What if you use tabs for indentations and space for alignment?
