While reading what Cynbe had to say at http://mythryl.org/ concerning the
design of his language I came across the following: Simon Peyton-Jones
refers to programming under this strict constraint as "wearing the hair
shirt".
What Simon wrote caused me to reflect on its meaning for a time. I feel that
what Simon is saying is that if you value the truth, you will be willing to
suffer for it. Apparently, Cynbe is not willing to suffer. As such the Pagan
motif is appropriate.
