I mean, if you consider the past as despotic in nature, then it makes a bit more sense that we'd lean left as time progressed. All things are defined in waves, after all, at least until they reach escape velocity.
*the goat is talking about math, ritz*
oh yes of course. the issue is that if you're coming from a math background you start with the calculation and store it in a variable as an afterthought. but programming is more algorithmic than computational, meaning things only reduce at runtime (hidden from the user of course by the compiler)
an algorithmic perspective is "here's a box. Put this value in the box. Use the box later." while a calculating perspective is "here's some complicated, difficult equation. Let's wrap it up with a single name so that we can easily use it later."
