In the GitHub video you said "you should never use π" (to use τ instead), an interesting comment. What is the reasoning for saying so?

That was an obscure reference to https://tauday.com/tau-manifesto and others 'tauist' beliefs.

But really, it's more of a 'well most of the time it's 2π' so maybe it makes sense to use the constant that represents that number, and since we're talking about small details, '2.0*PI' is also longer than 'TAU' to type.
