  We’re talking about engineers here! We’re using MATLAB or Python if we’re programming at all.

    Your not writing regular python code, your writing a special subset of python intended for engineers and scientists called “bad python code”

      As a comp sci that interacts a lot with engineers, I feel this in my soul.

    You can’t say that for all engineers. I’m one and the biggest part of my job is programming in C++

      Just wanted to say something similar. Any low latency high frequency code is written in c++, c or assembler. And that’s engineers work usually.

  As they should, if that’s the only thing you are using it for, don’t introduce a whole header file, just put the following in the constants.h or equivalent that the proj for sure has:

  #define M_PI 3.14159265358979323846264338327950288

    If I’m not completely mistaken M_PI is not part of the C standard, so depending on your stdlib or compiler or even compiler flags you will have to define it yourself even in C.
