Maciek, You know, I think you might be right and I think this might be at the root of my frustration. I found my simple Racket program much harder to write than my simple Python program. Now, this is mostly due to my own inexperience with Racket and the functional style. However, there might be a sense in which I should just be using the right tool for the job (which may well be Octave or Julia for something like this). For another example, if you're manipulating a CSV file it may well make more sense to use awk rather than Python or Racket or anything else. Then again, I want to write all my programs in Racket so I can get experience writing programs in Racket!
