On: Anglican: A Probabilistic Programming System

[hprotagonist]

It took me a second to figure out why they chose their project name. Clever.

(edit: maybe not? The good reverend was not CofE)

[wyclif → hprotagonist]

I expected a programming language that has Book of Common Prayer syntax.

[tmalsburg2 → hprotagonist]

I don't know what CofE is but always assumed that they named it Anglican in reponse to Church.

[joshuacc → tmalsburg2]

CofE is an abbreviation for the Church of England (parent church of the Anglican Communion).

[lainga → tmalsburg2]

Don't look now, but even Church was (like Bayes) a Presbyterian.
