Randomness of wrapped RNG
There are plenty of questions around regarding random number generation, but I couldn’t find anything that exactly matched my question. Apologies if I missed one.
Is garbage collection needed for implementing safe closures?
I recently attended an online course on programming languages in which, among other concepts, closures were presented. I write down two examples inspired by this course to give some context before asking my question.

Are there any practical uses of allowing recursive inclusion of a file?

In a condition statement (IF) everyone uses (position < size), but why?
Only convention or there is a good reason for that?
I need some help with defining a shell syntax
I’m trying to understand more about shells. I’m looking to implement one and want to look at what’s been done in the past.
