Similarly, I'm reading this via comp.lang.python and the original article hasn't shown up at this site.

So that's two of the five Python has, one explicitly acknowledged, plus the combination of lambda and functions-as-first-class-objects is as good as (or better than) "anonymous functions (delegates)". And then we get onto personal preferences as to how to do type systems. That's not a great deal with which to sway someone. -- \S -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://www.chaos.org.uk/~sion/ ___ | "Frankly I have no feelings towards penguins one way or the other" \X/ | -- Arthur C.
