There have definitely been some pieces of my Python projects that could have benefited from a Functional structure. I don't think writing an entire project in Cocounut would be worth while. At that point, why not use an actual FP language? However, I do think it sounds useful for when certain parts of a project could be cleaned up or optimized with functional code. Almost like a better `functools`. All that said though, I am interested to see performance metrics for the transpiled python. --- BBBS/Li6 v4.10 Toy-3 * Origin: Prism bbs (1:261/38) -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
