:) Fair enough. I admit that s-expressions are highly attractive to me, years later now that I finally understand them. (Well, years later now that I think I understand them.) I admit to being lured by the abstractions put forth by many of the Haskel folks, too. Applicatives and the like are very interesting. Hopefully I can get to understand them faster than I did lisp. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
