What's dynamic typing?
I can't say it any better than this:

Basically, types are determined

Python has first class functions and lexical scoping, and encourages

I was surprised to hear about first class functions and higher order

Hi Bryn Keller,
The solution for your problem is very simple. You just have to fetch
all values as strings. In this way the library will do all required
conversions for you.

As long as this group seems to tolerate What about Haskell and language X?
has anyone had any experience with AliceML? My initial impression is that it

As an aside...
This group has been extremely tolerant of my newbie questions. I do want
to say thank-you to everyone who has been explaining things to me. I've
learned quite a bit about programming languages
