the language can do a lot of very expressive things, every language feature works in your favor too, but agree with you, i would not use my own language for any

like this:
D ~ unif_int(1, 6);
Print("P(rolled a 6 | rolled > 3) =", P(D == 6 | D > 3));
or:
loss ~ unif(0, 1000);
claim = if loss > 200 { loss - 200 } else { 0 };
p = P(claim > 0);
Print("P(insurer pays a claim) =", p)
notice that "claim" is also a random variable! result of a if expression
- kccqzy 2mo agoYeah sure this is how numpy people would do it: N = 10**6 D = np.random.randint(1, 6, N) print("P(rolled a 6 | rolled > 3) =", ((D == 6) | (D > 3)).mean()) loss = np.random.uniform(0, 1000, N) claim = np.where(loss > 200, loss - 200, 0) p = (claim > 0).mean() print("P(insurer pays a claim) =", p) It’s concise enough that people generally wouldn’t bother writing a library. Unless they really want their custom syntax, then perhaps they write a parser.
