  3. I love how people are rediscovering Arenas again! They are pretty much all I use for all my allocation needs because an arena equates to a lifetime group for allocations. And using arenas (like in Odin), you can just free all of the things at once rather than individually (e.g. paired malloc/free in C), which means in practice, you rarely need to free anything manually and just allocate when needed. And because arenas are really simple allocators, they are as fast as they can possibly get compared to any other memory allocation strategy.

  4. This is one of the reasons why I hate OOP (not necessarily objects): all of the stupid names for simple things. "Dependency Injection" is just passing objects to procedures as a value. WHY DOES IT NEED A SILLY NAME LIKE THAT?!

  5. This video conflates RAII and ownership semantics quite a bit. This is a common misconception but if this is meant to be an introduction to either concept, this will most definitely confuse a newcomer to these concepts. You can explain Ownership Semantics without ever referring to RAII whatsoever and vice versa. Ownership semantics can be used to aid with a few issues that RAII in C++ causes (such as over use of copy constructors) but they solve different orthogonal problems entirely. C++11 onwards also has all of these ownership semantics (rvalue references, std::move, std::forward, etc), but they are an opt-in thing rather than something that is required like in Rust. Also, if you are wanting to reduce resource usage as much as possible, RAII is not the right tool for you and will most likely cause you to waste more memory than other approaches.

  6. OLS is well loved as an LSP for Odin. As I kept trying to stress in the video: LSPs/IDEs hindered my personal productivity. If they increase yours, that is great! Everyone has different needs, wants, and preferences. Try to tailor your experience for yourself.
    63
  7. ​ @dealloc The only people who use the term are OOP people. Everyone else doesn't even bother naming it because it's such a trivial concept, and only seems "great" if you have been doing insane OOP things.
    31
  8. We will write one. We just wanted to wait until v1.0. And since Odin is effectively done, it will be fully written.

  9. "I just choose the right language for job". I effectively said this for tools in general with my interview with ThePrimeagen but I did caveat it with you need to know the alternatives. If you don't know the alternatives, you can NEVER say it is the best tool for the job because you only have one option. It is by definition the worst choice too because it's the only choice. And when it comes to programming languages, I am one of those weirdos who is a polyglot who knows literally 100s of programming languages because that's kind of what I do for a living. So knowing "the best language" in that case is because I know the alternatives; most people don't.

  10. I apologize that I was doing that but doing any form of voice chat with people on the other side of the planet does have a lot of latency. And to keep the quality of the stream there without many large gaps requires you to preempt where the "gaps" are going to be and I sometimes guess that "gap" incorrectly. I wasn't trying to be rude, just a failed latency preemption.

  11. I'm from the UK and there is something most people don't really realize: everything might be written in metric but it's amazing how many things are still actually in imperial measurements. You'll still see packaging that says things like: 57g (2 oz), 115g (~4 oz), 200g (7 oz, most tins), 227g (8 oz), 340g (12 oz), 454g (16 oz), and so on. The factories still use all of the old measurements but have just changed the packaging instead (which is the entire legal point). There is also a weird issue in that eggs are defined in effectively imperial masses too still, with a good example that if you crack the contents of a large egg on to a scale, it will weigh ~57g (2 oz). Another good example of a weird place where imperial is pretending to be metric are recipes. You'll see weird amounts such as 225g, or 115g, or 450mL or whatever, and then you clearly know that this was originally an imperial recipe. Whilst if you read recipes from "The Continent", they will use more "round" numbers in metric. A unit system is a language in itself and finding what works takes a long time. To be clear, I am not suggesting we should at all go back to the imperial system legally (far from it), just that things never actually changed in many places, only their legal value. And that even if more people think in metric nowadays, the things they buy are only legally metric.
    17
  12.  @privacyvalued4134  And what symbols are you going on about? Just the colons for value declarations and maybe `->` for return types? If so, that's your honest complaint? That's the "symbol soup" that you speak of?
    14
  13. Worse: I use Windows 11.
    14
  14. That's completely right and I wish I said that now on stream because that is a better framing for the more web-based audience.
    14
  15. ​ @thewhitefalcon8539 I am not asking about calling singletons. I am literally saying that "dependency injection" is a silly name, not that is a bad idea.
    13
  16. Thank you for watching the video. With regards to the "automagic C interop", this sounds cool until you realize this is actually pretty much NEVER what you want. In all of the cases you look at what Zig does, the libraries just wrap the automagically imported C calls, which is effectively the same amount of work as just writing the bindings manually, defeating the entire purpose of the automagical stuff. There is also the other issue that people use the C-preprocess as if it was the same language as C. They define constants and many wrapper functions and more, with the preprocessor, which will be missed by the "automagical" stuff. We are currently working on making an official automatic bindings generator, and because of Odin's amazing `foreign` system stuff, things can have little to no wrappers whatsoever, and still be extremely useful. Odin has tried its best to make binding with foreign code very pleasurable, whilst not requiring wrappers. See things like the attributes `link_prefix` or even `b32` types (for booleans which are not 1-byte) or `u32le` types (endian specific types) or multi-pointers `[^]T`. With a bindings generator, you'll have a lot more control about how you can interface with foreign (e.g. C) code.
    13
  17. Thank you so much for using it!
    13
  18. Rust cannot be a successor to C. Rust might be a successor to "Modern C++", but definitely not C since C programmers want a lot more control that Rust cannot by its very design offer. With regards to Zig, I recommend trying both Odin and Zig out and see which of the languages you actually prefer. There doesn't need to be a single "winner", this isn't Highlander.
    12
  19. Thank you for the insult :)
    12
  20. Two reasons: no other language has incorporated all of those ideas together into a coherent package; I am here to solve actual problems with tools/constructs/ideas/features I know and have been proven to work, rather than experiment with new ideas where it will most definitely fail.
    12
  21. As I say in the interview, try both of the languages out for at least a week each, and see which you prefer!
    12
  22.  @CamaradaArdi  Arenas are built into Odin's core library. An Arena is a Bump Allocator. They are just different names for the same thing.
    10
  23. Where is this "symbol soup" that you speak of? Can you show me a code example of what you mean because the only main addition to Odin over C is the use of colons for value declarations. How is doing `x: i32 = 123` "symbol soup" compared to `int32_t x = 123;` in C? I am honestly trying to understand your criticism because none of what you are saying even sense. And you sure you are reading Odin?
    10
  24. "Hertfordshire" is "Hart-fərd-shear" (where ə is schwa, which is a very neutral vowel) "-shire" in general is pronounced "-shear" like "shearing a sheep".
    10
  25. As I said: it automates dependency hell. It's not just that "you can go crazy", everyone goes crazy with it. And package managers have accelerated that craziness. And doing it manually slows down that craziness. Does it stop it entirely? No. But it does nudge people go at least consider what they are doing most of the time. And if that still doesn't help, that person cannot be helped at moment in time.

  26. What other options? If you want a imperative procedural language with manual memory management, that works on Windows, Mac, and Linux, you have about 5 options: C, C++, Odin, Zig, C3. When I see these kinds of comments, I don't think people know how little choice there is in the systems programming domain, especially before those latter 3 alternatives popped onto the scene.
    9
  27. The latter usually started out life as the former, and vice versa.

  28. FIRST!!!! I haven't been first on a Vlogbrothers video since 2007

  29. Public by default is on purpose because of the amount of times I've had so many issues with things being private all the time and I've not been able to access things without modifying the source code directly. I understand why people "think" private-by-default is a good idea but it really isn't for the actual users of the code. The library writer doesn't really know what I need and is usually wrong too.
    8
  30. I wonder if any of the Lotuseaters' team has ready any of the Moral Intuitionists as they would be very relevant to all of this discussion. Examples: Thomas Reid (more popular than Hume in his time, and went the opposite direction of Kant to Hume's questions), G.E. Moore, W.D. Ross, Michael Huemer, etc.
    8
  31. Build systems and package managers are separate problems. And if your metric is "at least it is running", I don't want to see what code you are writing... There is a reason I said that package managers are a big reason for the acceleration for the why software is getting worse.
    7
  32. That's my actual (legal) name. I am "Ginger Bill". My actual name is just so generic, which would make it nigh impossible to search for on the internet.
    7
  33. Odin does have bounds checking any many other memory safety features, just like Zig.
    6
  34. And that's why software is utter crap and so so slow and buggy. Software doesn't have to be this way.
    6
  35. If you don't understand why it is necessary to replace the declaration syntax of C, then you don't know the horrors of C itself. `char (*(*x())[5])()` is valid C syntax, now can you tell me what it is? If I rewrite in Odin as `x: proc() -> ^[5](proc() -> u8)`, it makes a hell of a lot more sense (declare x as a procedure returning a pointer to an array 5 of a procedure that returns u8). In Odin you read the declaration from left to right; in C you read it in the way it is used (which was a mistake, and anyone saying otherwise is even disagreeing with the creators of the C language).

  36.  @noahhounshel104  ​ @kwanarchive ​ @Zsombor Hollay RAII on its own does not necessarily waste memory compared to other approaches, however the general culture assumes RAII means you should allocate singular things instead of thinking about your allocation separately from your single objects. As a result, a lot of memory is wasted because you off-load the allocation aspect to the single object, whereas RAII could still be useful if you did not do this. Another issue with C++ specifically is that they conflate construction/destruction with allocation/deallocation. It is extremely useful to want to allocate an object and then construct it at a later time, destruct it and then deallocate it at a later date, but due to the way C++ has been designed and the culture around C++, most people couple them together (making things bad). Constructors and destructors also do not "return a value" meaning that the only way you can signal something may have gone wrong is by throwing an exception (which might be a huge issue depending on the problem space). This is why many people will just use explicit `init` and `destroy` functions/methods instead of relying on the ctors/dtors, thus bypassing many of the features of RAII. I can give you loads of real world examples of codebases that use RAII heavily that are extremely wasteful of memory (compared to other approaches). And to clarify, RAII is not inherently wasteful but the culture around it and how it the languages that have tend to be designed nudge you to use it in such a way that is extremely uncaring about memory allocations by making them hidden.
    6
  37. That's quite the opposite. Odin is on par with C. Where did you get your information from?
    6
  38. Odin does have freestanding targets, but it we are not focusing on embedded systems for loads of reasons. Personally I believe embedded systems (whatever that even means, since it is such a broad category), needs a language tailored for its domain. More domain specific languages is what we need, not "generalized" languages which is not great for any specific domain.
    6
  39.  @Adscam  huh? How did you get that irrelevant non-sequiter from my comment? I was just showing the oddities of sizes in the UK which imperial masquerading as metric.
    5
  40. ​ natescode Odin is just as "general purpose" as Zig, but we do provide a few libraries that are more "domain focused". We do not aim to replace C, especially since I do not believe this is possible. This is why we advertise ourselves as an "Alternative to C", rather than a "Replacement". C isn't one language, and is multiple languages depending on what target and compiler you use. It won't be replaced any time, but at least with have alternatives to choose from for our problems!
    5
  41. Nope. That's private. But Odin does have `vendor:microui` which you can use and modify to your heart's content.
    5
  42. It's slower in the short term, but you actually start learning and retaining the code base in your memory. So it is a lot quicker in the long run.
    5
  43. As for the dependencies thing: people never read through it if they automatically download it. They just don't. That's human nature. So the downside is that it doesn't happen.
    5
  44. Thank you for listening to the interview :)
    5
  45. People have already written Kernels in Odin. So yes you can write an OS with Odin.
    5
  46.  @lazyh0rse  if I transliterated C to Odin, it would perform the same. Because Odin can express the exact same concepts (if albeit slightly differently) as C. These benchmarks aren't even estimates of anything really. They are not comparing the same thing ever. Even if they were the same, at best you are now comparing compiler optimizer backends and not even the language, which is more a measure of maturity than anything intrinsic.
    5
  47. Please don't do it. The reason there is little good information is because if you know how to do it, you know what to use it for. If you don't know how to do it, it's really not for you. It's just applying the lessons of relational databases to games. That's pretty much it.
    4
  48. ​ @gercius  I am literally a language design and I do actually know probably over 100 of languages. And after a while, you actually see the commonalities and the subtle differences in the semantics between the different languages within certain families.
    4
  49. @LTibor2012  we do support OpenBSD and NetBSD but you will to compile from source. Odin is very simple to compile.
    4
  50. Huh? The very first thing I said was recommend OLS to people who like LSPs. All I said is that when I stopped using things like LSPs/IDEs, I PERSONALLY got more productive. If those tools make you more productive, that's great! Everyone's workflow is different, and there is nothing "elitist" about that. So I am absolutely baffled that is what you took from what I said since it was the EXACT opposite of what I said.
    4
  51.  @noahhounshel104  I am not sure why brought up RAII and `Option<&T>` when that specific example is an option of a reference of T, meaning it does not have any useful `drop` call associated with it. `Option` types in general can be useful in languages such as Rust but it's completely orthogonal to RAII still. And how people actually use RAII does mean that they rarely defer the creation of the objects to a late date, and because of how languages like C++ (and Rust to a less extent due to the lifetime semantics) have been designed and the culture that has grown around them, does mean people do couple allocations and creation. You cannot ignore how people use a tool in practice.
    4
  52. Odin doesn't have header files!

  53. What would like a presentation on? If you want a presentation of the language itself, I recommend watching one of my videos on Odin as a introduction, or just read the Overview on the website.
    4
  54. Something that is used in numerous commercial products is fictive just because the Wikipedia mods won't accept (nor state clearly why) the proposed Wikipedia article numerous people in the community has worked on?
    4
  55. I don't even think it was recorded. It was just for the people who paid for it and attended live. And why is that gross? Why is it bad that some things cost?
    4
  56.  @lazyh0rse  benchmarks for any language are awful because they are never comparing apples to apples. They are all bad. Look at the code for each and then see if they are even similar, and then look to see what the compiler flags are for the respective compilers. I am betting the Odin ones don't even have bounds checking disabled nor many other things.
    4
  57. TL;DR NEEDS = Means; WANTS = Ends. Regarding the Needs/Desires section, Sowell is effectively making the hypothetical imperative distinction, which is part of Sowell's Value-Free view of Economics (which makes perfect sense knowing his influences from Hayek and Mises). If you WANT/DESIRE to achieve X, then you NEED to do Y. Then Y are NEEDS, to achieve the DESIRES of X. A basic example of this is the following: the DESIRE to not die has certain NEEDS. In Sowell's school of thought, there are no such things as intrinsic NEEDS nor DESIRES, and that these are all subjective values (which is the foundation of modern economics to begin, along with marginalism). He is not mixing these up whatsoever, he is just not being clear enough in his writing as to what he means because he has internalized this conception too much to explain in text.

  58. Elixir and not Erlang? Also, why are you not trying Odin? 😜

  59. I love you too ❤

  60. You haven't contradicted anything I said---there are parts where it is nice to reduce redundant typing, but that is not necessarily the same as optimizing for it. . Mathematics has much terser syntax BECAUSE you are trying to compress a lot of information into symbols, and manipulate those symbols a lot. However with programming, you don't want it to be as terse because the constructs cannot be expressed as tersely, and we have the luxury of writing full words and phrases to be used as identifiers. A lot of problems I have seen in code have been from programmers with a big mathematical background, and they use really short (usually single letter) identifiers, which makes their code completely unreadable.
    3
  61. Why are they going the pseudo-destructor route rather than just having an explicit `defer`? The Drop trait makes sense in Rust due to its ownership+lifetime semantics, but does this `using` idea actually make any sense in JS? Why would `defer` be a bad idea? (I know `defer` is kind of already a thing for `<script defer ...>` but that's not technically JS at that point). let resource = getResource(); defer resource.dispose(); // or defer await resource.dispose(); This is just objectively clearer, even if you have to type an extra-line (oh no, not another line(!) /s). It would work with everything else already too that doesn't have the Symbol.dispose/asyncDispose nonsense too.
    3
  62. Odin and Zig are very similar in terms of age, and they have very different philosophies behind them. I don't disagree with the sentiment that people should learn C, but people who have been using C for a very long time do want something else, and languages like Odin and Zig are there to be of service.
    3
  63. Our very early users of Odin were all Scandinavian and they had the same "problem". It turns out that in practice, using `^` is not as common as you think due to Odin's type inference. And typing that dead key is not that much of a problem in practice.

  64. How?

  66. @AG-ur1lj  you don't get that much money off ads, nor is that the equivalent of paying for it. Also private chat was a lot spicier and more causal, which might not even be appropriate for YouTube.

  68. @RasmusSchultz  Sublime text has inline errors, and odin check is so fast that it acts like that. I think you might misunderstanding what I am saying.
    2
  69. @RasmusSchultz  we also export the error messages as JSON if needed, which could be used for any need. But an LSP is more than you're letting on, and its design is very limiting too (because Microsoft didn't think that far ahead). But in general, I don't need an LSP and odin check is extremely fast negating the issues of "slow compile times just for semantic checking".
    2
  70. @RasmusSchultz  I didn't talk about this on the video but the entire idea that an LSP to be a fully fledged web server is insane. I'm sorry, but you clearly don't think that's insane, so I won't explain any more.
    2
  71. No. The reason it is not official is because it isn't developed by anyone on the core team coupled with, I literally have never used it and why would I make anything official that I have never personally used myself? And you clearly didn't understand what I said in the video. I am not against LSPs whatsoever, rather that I found I was PERSONALLY less productive using something like intellisense than without—it was a massive surprise to me. If they are great for you, that's great! But actually test your assumptions, which you are clearly making loads of in your comment.
    2
  72.  @TheMachina42 Odin isn't trying to replace C whatsoever. We just want to provide an alternative in the domains that Odin provides. Trying to replace C is never going to happen within a few decades, but at least providing new options/alternatives for other problems is a wonderful thing!
    2
  73.  @eugenakv  I use scope-based `defer` in other languages all the type for many things which are not "destructors" whatsoever. A good example are any calls that are effectively in nature begin/end, open/close, increment/decrement, etc, most of which have nothing to with type construction.

  75.  @gercius  I don't think in terms of "favourites" because the concept makes very little sense. It's like asking "what is your favourite tool in the workshop?" without any caveat as to what you are trying to solve. It's like saying "I love hammers" but you are trying to drill a hole.

  76.  @_-martin-_  I explained the issues with C's syntax and why everyone else tries to not deal with it. The closest language that you might like would be C3.

  77.  @Alex-cw3rz  This is where the difference between a posh vs non-posh accent comes into play too now, as well as southern vs non-southern. I've always associated "sher" with a more posh-southern English accent whilst "shear" is the common-non-southern English accent.
    2
  78. ​ @Alex-cw3rz  According to wikipedia, the pronunciation is closer to what I wrote (ˈhɑːrtfərdʃɪər/), and even Lancashire can sound like ʃɪər rather than just ʃər. This is really interesting!!!
    2
  79. My "advice" wasn't even advice, I literally just said that when I stopped using intellisense-like functionality, I PERSONALLY got more productive. I was not telling other people to do that. And I work in multiple different languages and projects on a daily basis. On a daily basis, I am use C, C++, Odin, GLSL, JS, etc. So I don't really have a "very specific skill profile". All I was implying is actually test your assumptions and don't just go "well using this tool makes me more productive but I have evidence for the contrary".

  84.  @UwU-f2a  How are you even testing things? Because none of that makes sense.
    2
  85.  @UwU-f2a  That is still vague. How are you actually testing this precisely? What is the source code? And especially what are the command line flags?
    2
  86.  @UwU-f2a  I am just going to be blunt. You just told me nothing and I asked specific questions. Your "benchmarking" is meaningless without any actual context and just saying you're using `wrk` says nothing either. You didn't even tell me what HTTP packages were you using, what your code looks like—nothing. So saying things like Odin's "performance isn't stable" is literal nonsense.

  87.  @UwU-f2a  The Odin http library that isn't even official? And did you compile Odin with optimizations enabled?

  88. Firstly, name a single platform that supports 128-bit floating point numbers in hardware?---that isn't an FPGA. Secondly, if you need more precision than 64-bits, you probably want "big floats" instead, because 128-bits is probably not enough.

  89. What is the name of the convention where the parameter types of functions are declared afterwards? E.g. int main(argc, argv) int argc; char** argv; {}

  90. This is true but from day to day, 2, 3, 4 and 6 are used more often than 5. The only reason we like five is due to using base ten. If were used to dozenal, we would dislike 5 as much as we dislike 3 in decimal.
    1
  91.  @DanielJoyce  so what are you referring to with regards to Zig in your original comment? Odin and Zig both use LLVM as their backend.

  100. No one is saying that we should use the imperial system over the metric system but to use dozenal over decimal. If we had a dozenal equivalent system (there are many proposed/in use systems already), then everything would be perfect!
    1
  101. Well loads of things don't make much sense, such as base ten as an example but we stick to it anyway.
    1
  102. That is true but decimal and dozenal do not like 1/7 either (actually many bases do not except base 7 and 8.) 1/5 in dozenal = 0.249724972497.... which can be approximated to 0.25. But the reason he did not do this is because 2, 3, 4 and 6 are more useful for everyday life compared to 5.
    1
  103. 1/5 is only more common because we use base ten.
    1
  104. I said I used Intellisense (the IDE Visual Studio's completion system) and LSPs are in the same vein as that. And you can disagree with everything I said, that's fine. My view on LSPs is just personal one, and my view on package managers is a very rare one too.

  107. ​ @delibellus Exactly. There isn't a "single" solution to "all" problems. And thank goodness we have choice nowadays with regards to programming languages. 10 years ago, if you wanted an imperative procedural language with manual memory management, you pretty much only had C, C++, Fortran, or some Pascal variant. Now we have a huge selection of languages!

  109. This is true however, fifths are uncommon in everyday life; halves, thirds, quarters, and sixths are very common and which dozenal is perfect for. Fifths in common use have only arisen due to using decimal as five is a factor of ten. If you want to know, 1/5 in dozenal is 0.249724972497... which can be rounded to 0.25 which is more accurate of an approximation than a third in decimal (0.33).

  110. But something like a gradual change such as over 100 years, would be better. If the scientific community started using dozenal (base twelve), then it may catch on in other fields.

  113. @doltBmB ​ @DeveloperVoices the concerns of other languages were considered very early on. Especially since a lot of the very early users of Odin were Scandinavian (just a coincidence). Things like := and ^ turned out not to be a problem in practice whatsoever. People always make these claims but rarely are issues in practice, and if they are, they are problems in the vast majority of programming languages.

  119. @martinseal1987  where did I say implement everything yourself? I am for third party libraries, but just knowing what you are downloading and minimizing dependencies. Package managers don't do that.

  122. Dozenal would not change any fundamentals in maths. All it does change the numbers we use. 7 would still be prime and so would 3. The only difference is that 10 would be twelve (1 dozen 0 units). Therefore 11 = thirteen or Do-One.

  128. There are many symbols proposed but the only reason these are the most popular is due to the fact of them being on a keyboard. Some symbols look really different to these but are not the standard keyboard.

  130. We'd be interested in seeing if we can support a freestanding PowerPC platforms for Odin most definitely! Maybe some forms of Cortex-M (but it's too varied to be actually useful as a single generic target). As for MicroBlaze, you're probably the first person I've met in a long time to even use it still. Supporting these new platforms does take a bit work (LLVM isn't just magic, unfortunately) to get working, but we are not against supporting those platforms. We have just been focusing on the main application-oriented platforms (AMD64, ARM64, and now wasm), but that doesn't mean we cannot support other platforms.

  135. The whole point about dozenal is to simplify maths. Dozenal (0123456789XE) is much easier to use/teach/learn compared to decimal (0123456789).

  136. > you can configure to reject certain licenses That's assuming the people who wrote those libraries wrote the correct licences AND they didn't steal the code from a GPL codebase. A package manager only does what you tell it to, and people lie, cheat, and steal.

  140. That is true but this is one of the main reasons why use base ten. Also the Indian numeral system (0123456789), Roman numeral system (I V X) all use ten rather than twelve or eight. Eight is also a very good base but it does have the problem with 1/3.

  141. Mackie's argument just redefines what is commonly thought as "ought" and makes it subjective rather than objective. I am an ethical non-naturalist which means I believe that Hume's guillotine is correct. I believe that ethical naturalism (you can derive an ought from an is) commits a naturalistic fallacy (see G E Moore). Note that "non-natural" does not mean supernatural/divine. It does mean that "goodness" cannot be reduced to natural properties such as wants, needs, nor pleasures.

  143. In everyday life, these fractions are virtually non-existent. If you want them there here you go: 1/5 = 0;24972497... ≈ 0;25 1/7 = 0;186X35186X35... ≈ 0;187 1/X = 0;1249724972497... ≈ 0;125 1/E = 0;1111111... ≈ 0;111

  146. The thing is that many parts of the world do not use their fingers to count like we do. They use the segments of the fingers to count to twelve or the spaces between them to count to eight.

  147. For everyday life, we do not need 5 as much as we need 2, 3, 4 and 6. The only reason we thing 5 to be useful is because we use base ten/decimal. If we used dozenal, 1/5 would be as weird as 1/3 as it is in decimal now.

  149. In dozenal, 10 means 1 dozen and 0 units. therefore, 4/10 means four divided by do. 0.4 means the same thing in dozenal, units and 4 twelves. It is common do a semicolon used instead of a dot in the dozenal community to distinguish it from decimal e.g four twelfths (a third) is 0;4
