This might turn into a series involving other aspects of calculus, including using the "derivative" of a string to find "stationary points" etc, as well as "integration" of sentences
Introduction
If y'all have ever studied calculus, you'll most...
I'm gonna post this soon
Any suggestions for challenge improvement / posting date?
Simple challenge: The code must be both valid Lisp and valid Fortran, and must print out "hello world" in both.
Note: I've sunk about 5 hours into this at this point, I'm not even sure it's possible at this point...
