Yes, indeed. It is mentioned in the wikipedia link ("गोपीभाग्यमधुव्रात..."). I first read it in the "Vedic Mathematics" book by HH Bharati Krishna Tirtha Swamiji. Since he didn't give any attribution, I suppose he w

UI with minimalism, open source and cross-platform (Win, Lin, Mac) -- what's not to like about it?! And a great name too. Kavita means poem or poetry in Sanskrit and pretty much all Indic languages. I'm sure others will point out

Hence, to avoid confusion, the table should be updated as "C and C++" (or worse, "C/C++"). That said, any index which conflates C and C++ cannot be taken seriously.

No C++ in Top 10?

There is std::array<T, N> in modern C++ standard. It is meant for static arrays which know their own length. http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/container/array

Seems everybody here has switched to rg but I haven't because it's not available in Debian repos (yet) unlike ack/ag. So, do such folks use Arch or just download a pre-built binary ? How about updating rg when a new version i

> Vedic Sanskrit has three ways of pronouncing it (similar to the Chinese four accents) Just a nitpick: Vedic Sanskrit has pitch accent , not tone. Chinese is tonal. And I'm a huge fan of ghana patha as well!

The article doesn't state it, but '(lambda (x) x) is actually shorthand for (quote (lambda (x) x)) And then the distinction between them is explained right inside emacs. C-h f quote and C-h f lambda
