edwiebe@mstdn.ca@monsieuricon I feel that changing conventional numbers into unconventional representations of numbers is fundamentally a bad idea. Maybe it's harmless? It feels like it's not.

vwbusguy@mastodon.online@monsieuricon It's interesting that this works, but not German, etc., style formating:
>>> 1.200,30
(1.2, 30)
>>> 1_200.30
1200.3

astraleureka@social.treehouse.systems@monsieuricon Notably first introduced in Ada, and then subsequently popularised in Perl. I think quite a few languages support it these days, as it is truly a great readability improvement for large numbers.

Setok@attractive.space@monsieuricon nice feature. Might be interesting to see this in Tcl too, though it would likely break things.
