    Anything that is “degrees” is the devils work. Radians are so neat and IIRC it makes a lot of trigonometry math easier. Yes, they’re a bit weird to get into once one has been indoctrinated to degrees, but (pi/2) radians is just so nice.

      Yeah I fuckin’ love dealing with transcendental constants and fractions just to describe a right angle. A quarter-circle being one-half just makes so much sense! It’s awesome seeing all these mantissa-only numbers, because you can totally tell apart sane results and srand() without doing floating-point math in your head!
