I know why I do not (yet) like SPAD: it differentiates between functions
and ordinary variables.
For me functions are just ordinary variables or constants having a type
that involves ->. But, in fact my knowledge of SPAD is so poor that I
don't even know how do distinguish between (programming) variables and
constants. So I will shut up.
