I honestly thought it was common to have the standard library include a sqrt function that handled complex numbers. But I've tried python and no luck. I wondered if it was just common lisp, so I fired guile up and lo and behold, they too handle complex numbers. Maybe you're right, it's only lisps that do things right. Not even R, which is often used in sciency stuff.
