Yes that's a good idea. I could try porting some at least. And it has
some useful function names built in, like map and car...
(symbol-value :war)
(loop until (boundp 'war)
do (format t "Say it again.~%")

Yes it's probably my favourite of the dynamic scripting languages
although I find myself using Python more for projects because it has a
larger audience and the libraries I want to use are usually available
for it rather than Ruby.

I took a look at Go and it has some interesting ideas, notably the ease
with which you can start and communicate with sub-processes. I just wish
people would try a syntax other than C. ;-)
