It's worth money as long as the company that runs the search engine is willing to pay for it.

In a scenario where Google no longer sees the value in that arrangement, what value would Microsoft be seeing in it?

Caesar and Augustus didn't insert those months, they were renamed from Quintilis and Sextilis in their honour.

The reason for the discrepancy in names is due to the fact that March used to be the first month of the year. It was changed to January hundreds of years before Caesar came along, so the naming scheme was already 2 months off by that point.

For some reason, I've always preferred OCaml's style of generics notation: (T, (int, long) U, int W) S

I'm pretty sure I'm in the minority with that opinion though.

I've never heard of tail recursion being used as a performance optimization. Generally it's required to prevent a recursive function from blowing the stack.

Iteration is usually more performant than recursion, but doesn't mix well with immutability.
