# [Syntax Highlighting]
|
|
# Most languages' syntax highlighters will
|
|
# highlight this code well. Set it manually
|
|
# in your editor.
|
|
#
|
|
# Don't use a language for which you have a
|
|
# linter installed, you'll get lots of errors.
|
|
#
|
|
# Choose a language you don't have extenstions for,
|
|
# and a language that uses # comments.
|
|
#
|
|
# The following worked well in vscode:
|
|
# - Julia
|
|
# - Perl
|
|
# - Coffeescript
|
|
# - R

# [Writing macros]
|
|
# If you don't have a custom keyboard layout that can
|
|
# create λs, you may use backslashes instead.
|
|
# (As in `T = \ab.b`)
|
|
#
|
|
# This file must only contain macro definitons. Commands will be ignored.
|
|
# Statements CANNOT be split among multiple lines.
|
|
# Comments CANNOT be on the same line as macro defintions.
|
|
# All leading whitespace is ignored.

# Recursive factorial. Call with `Y FAC <number>`

# Don't call this with numbers bigger than 5 unless you're very patient.

# `Y FAC 6` required 867,920 reductions and took 10 minutes to run.
