Several "C-inspired" dynamic languages support such a syntax: $ perl -le 'print 0b101010' 42 $ ruby -e 'puts 0b101010' 42 $ echo 'puts [expr 0b101010]' | tclsh 42 These languages also support going the other way via a '%b' format directive in their printf() equivalents. I think it's part of C# as well, but I could be wrong. Many other likely candidates don't support it (Python, Javascript, Java, PHP...) -- Mark J. Reed <markjreed@...>
