I over-use parentheses because I don't like having to think about the order of operations every time I glance at my code but from now on I'm going to use this as my justification so I don't seem so dumb

@jcs Is there a rational in go for going a different way than c did?

@nulleric@mastodon.social I guess because they're technically multiplying or dividing they should be grouped with * and / which are higher precedence

@jcs @nulleric Swift works the same as Go, which makes complete sense to me (it feels like << and >> should be "immediate", if that makes any sense).

But, like @jcs, I use parentheses everywhere to be sure nonetheless.

C burned me too many times.
