Too bad Liskell [1] is dead, or there would be a language with both currying and macros (aside from forth/factor which probably have both but don't count). Personally, I'd be happy to give up multivariadic functions (they always seem to need `apply' anyways) in exchange for a simpler curried language in which functions can only take a single argument. I'm not trying to suggest that this would be good for Clojure (or for anything implemented over the java VM) this is just a property I'd want in my perfect lisp. > > i promise i'll not comment about (superficial) syntax in a month!! > :-P > > On Nov 16, 11:35 am, Meikel Brandmeyer <m...@kotka.de> wrote: >> Hi, >> >> On 16 Nov., 11:06, atreyu <atreyu....@gmail.com> wrote: >> >> > clojure is nice too for the example but if you'd add functions and >> > they have arity more than 1 haskell gets better (imo of course): >> >> And less than 3 if one is honest.
