[PLearn-developers] Change in VMatLanguage

[Nicolas C. <cha...@ap...>]

Hello all,

A quick note to let you know that I changed the order of the arguments 
for the '^' function in VMatLanguage.  Now if you write ::

    2 3 ^

it returns pow(2,3), i.e. 8, instead of pow(3,2).  The reason :: it's 
usually a lot more frequent to have a long computation leading to the 
left-side than to the right-side (which is most often constant), hence 
the resulting code is a tiny bit more clear.  But with VPL, every tiny 
bit of clearness is like a breath of fresh air from the green valleys of 
virgin countries.

I DON'T think that a lot of people will be affected by this...  But if 
ever you are, feel free to negociate with me.

    + Nicolas
