Odd how that came out. Formatting, I know it not.

Princess Alice

you copy-pasted that from wikipedia

didn't you

Imipolex G

No, from a math site. It has the first 500 iterations. Which gets into some pretty big numbers.

Fibonacci!

real men program it themselves

seriously its like two lines

like i just opened a browser console right now and wrote it, it's two fucking lines

it hit 1.3069892237633987e+308 before the Number type overflowed and started logging Infinity.

Klinotaxis

writing a good one is more lines

Calica

writing a good iterative one is like three or four lines depending on whether you're in python or not, writing a good recursive one (which only provides better performance if your language does fast multiplication on bigints) is probably like a dozen at most?

It's nice in Javascript because lazy typing means you don't have to specifically handle the base case.

I am not a real man

Obā-san

he is devo

Calica

real manhood is bad anyways

Imipolex G

that's been my feeling

Obā-san

imi are you devo

Imipolex G

not to my knowledge.

Obā-san

imagine: Devo, but with cows

Imipolex G

someday I should listen to Devo

Klinotaxis

so they devolve into like... what did cows evolve from. whales? fat horses?

Obā-san

imagine like

a fluffy cow whale

Klinotaxis

i checked and they evolved from fat giraffes

Obā-san

giraffes smell really bad

Klinotaxis

biology naming is cool because whales are even-toed ungulates

Salix Babylonika

but how can that be, when whales do not have toes?

awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

Imipolex G

fluffy cow whale is best concept.
